Series Overview
The Innovation Accelerator program is a global initiative where creative problem solving using design thinking is inspired, informed and incited via a passionate community of innovators, robust tech platforms, and a supportive partner ecosystem. The Accelerator consists of program services for exploration, discovery, collaborative creation, team building, business modeling, design meditation and mindful engineering to develop novel solutions to real-world problems. After operating the Accelerator for two years, the program is gearing up to bring these accelerators for innovation to broader audiences so that their potential impact can be realized. The Accelerator team is currently developing a catalog where the concepts are introduced so that visitors can learn about the art of the possible using each accelerator in their respective problem spaces and domains. The Accelerator team is excited to see how enterprises and communities express their interest in incorporating these accelerators into their own initiatives to make something great. This article begins a series introducing the winning concepts in Innovation Accelerator 2017. A brief tour of each design is provided along with insights into the team’s experience in the Accelerator program.
