In partnership with the Scottish Digital Academy and Snook, we kicked off our Design Challenge Competition last November. Local authorities were invited to submit their #data or #digitisation challenges for a chance to secure fully funded support from user design experts at Snook. This competition empowers teams to innovate within their problem space, offering guided sessions and mentoring support at every stage of the design process. When considering our judges, we wanted to ensure that we included individuals with extensive expertise and passion as well as the knowledge and insight to enrich our panel and inspire participants. Now, let's meet the incredible judges who bring vast expertise and passion from the Public Sector to our panel! ▪ Aaron Slater, Digital Inclusion Manager, SCVO (Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations) ▪ Elizabeth Brooks, Senior Service Design Advisor, Healthcare Improvement Scotland ▪ Martin Lang, Service Designer, Improvement Service ▪ Rui Cardoso, Head of Data Insights, Smart Data Foundry Stay tuned for our next update where we will provide you with an overview of the successful challenge submissions currently being progressed with Snook.

It’s easy to become overwhelmed and caught up in the endless deadlines ahead when engaging in creative work. The pursuit of being “creative” may even end up draining you (at least it did for me…). However, paradoxically, I come to realise that the more you chase creativity, the more elusive it becomes. So, how exactly can we boost creativity and begin embracing the chaos of ideation while taking more risks? Creative conflict. That’s what I learned from Guan Hin Tay, Creative Chairman at BBDO Singapore, during his recent guest lecture here at WKWSCI. He helped me understand more about the process behind ideation and reminded me of the joy of bouncing ideas and going crazy with them. At the core of creative conflict is about how collision sparks creativity. For instance, you don’t sell soap with soap. Think the opposite. How else can the concept of “clean” be conveyed? Perhaps with something “dirty”? Essentially, what Guan taught me was the art of colliding familiar elements to create something unfamiliar — It’s the power to connect with the seemingly unconnected to spark bold changes. A special thanks to Pei Wen Wong for organising this talk and constantly exposing us to new creative ventures, and to Guan for sharing your enthusiasm and wisdom about ideation! (P.S. can’t wait to start reading your book “Collide”) #CS4070 #IssuesInAdvertising
