Böcker av Christoph Meinel

How does the most important technology of our time - the Internet and WWW - work? The authors explain in simple language and in short the individual technical building blocks and organizational structures, behind the greatest innovation of our time. Only those who know how the technologies that determine our everyday lives can deal with them confidently and in souvereignity. Although digitalization is shaping our daily lives, the technologies behind the Internet and WWW remain obscure to most people. This book provides the key to understanding the huge developments of our time.About The AuthorsChristoph Meinel is the Founding President of the German University of Digital Sciences and previously has been Director and CEO of the Hasso Plattner Institute. He heads the Internet Technologies and Systems department and is author of numerous scientific publications, developer of large digital systems, such as openHPI.de and HPI Schul-Cloud, and a sought-after consultant for politics and business.Maxim Asjoma is Head of Public Partnerships at Hasso Plattner Institute and holds a doctorate in philosophy with a specialization in economics and digitalization.

Extensive research conducted at the Hasso Plattner Design Thinking Research Program at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, USA, and at the Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam, Germany, has yielded valuable insights on why and how design thinking works. The participating researchers have identified metrics, developed models, and conducted studies, which are featured in this book and in the previous volumes of this series.This volume provides readers with tools to bridge the gap between research and practice in design thinking, together with a range of real-world examples. Several different approaches to design thinking are presented, while acquired frameworks are employed to understand team dynamics in design thinking. The contributing authors introduce readers to new approaches and fields of application and show how design thinking can tap the potential of digital technologies in a human-centered way. The book also presents new ideas on neuro-design from Stanford University and the Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam, inviting readers to consider newly developed methods and how these insights can be applied to different domains. Design thinking can be learned. It has a methodology that can be observed across multiple settings. Accordingly, readers can adopt new frameworks to modify and update their current practices.The research outcomes gathered here are intended to inform and provide inspiration for all those seeking to drive innovation ¿ be they experienced design thinkers or newcomers. It is the last in a series of 14 volumes published over the past 14 years, reflecting the successes of the HPI-Stanford Design Thinking Research Program. Many thanks to the Hasso Plattner Foundation for its valued support.
