Nokia Future Urban

This is a pretty old one though, I had worked with Jan Chipchase some years back on research project that spanned a few countries and in the indian chapter, I was a part of.

This was one of my first experiences in research and design and was one of the best. Working with Jan and his team, was a huge learning. I was awed completely by the way the team was organized with even the smallest of details. Here is the preview, Jan had put up sometime back.

I had much to learn this time as well, the model was slightly different from the last one. From a free event to a paid one, though its sounds much too easy its actually too much pain to handle for a free event. The best part was for me in the overall game was the whole new learning area. I have been in service design thinking for now three years, and have core only practised it in India for around 1.5 years. You can say that there is both lack of opportunity and purity of practise in India.
