Colleagues,
There is an interesting article at:
http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/24/3904134/google-redesign-how-larry-page-engineered-beautiful-revolution
"Google’s process is quintessentially Google and happened in a quintessentially Google way. Larry Page mandated that there be a new design focus to get the ball rolling, but instead of micromanaging at every step he let his employees to do the rest — guided by an empowered, core team of designers. They organized themselves in a typically Google structure: cross-discipline, informal, but driven to achieve a goal."
The article raises some interesting questions about how corporate cultures and communities of interest might approach design, and the role of authority figures or experts in collective creativity.
Or so I believe,
Chuck
