Design and Emotions 2014 presentation
Colombia has been transformed into the third country with the best business environment in L.A.; however, investment in Research, Development, and Innovation is only 0,2% of the Gross Domestic Product. Taking into account that 98% of the Colombian enterprises are Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), from which 5% invest only 2% of its annual budget in design, the National Industrial Design Program (MinCIT) saw the need to develop the Integral Design Tutoring Model. The model makes a bet for empathy and emotional intimacy as tools to transfer the necessary knowledge so that the local businessperson develops an innovation culture based on design thinking. To test the model, the Integral Design Tutoring Project was developed as a pilot. This four months project allowed an interdisciplinary team, conducted by designers, to accompany twenty SMEs. Through a process developed in three stages it was possible to prove that, through empathy and emotional intimacy, one can achieve knowledge transfer to business people and their organizations in an effective, efficient and fruitful way. This knowledge transfer allows the enterprise to develop human-centered design processes in a systematic, independent and autonomous way.

- 17. Learnings / Emotions in knowledge transfer ● Empathy and emotional intimacy in the “tutoring model” are key knowledge transfer strategies compared with traditional consulting. ● The formulation of solutions spaces is recommended more than merely products in such a project. ● MADI’s approach is ready to be scalable thanks to its modularity and its capability of being adjusted and fixed to the needs and requirements of the new context of work. ● MADI, as a knowledge transfer model, is able to contribute to the industrial development of other Latin American countries due to its similarities in terms of the inner-culture of its productive sector.
- 18. Learnings / Emotions in knowledge transfer ● MADI could be the conceptual base for the development of projects of the kind of Living Lab, where citizens play an essential role in the project and become an active element of the solutions space. ● The Living Lab must be an appealing possibility for different kind of public, parapublic and private sectors basically because of the use of Human Centered Design (or Citizen Centered Design) approach will increase the chance for SMEs to explore new markets and increase their capabilities as competitive, effective and efficient organizations.
- 19. Learnings / Social innovation and contextualized design for SMEs in Colombia ● The initiatives formulated from MADI, including PADI+2013, posit a positive scenario for the use of design to benefit the country’s industrial reconversion; they intervene positively in communities that live in a symbiotic way with organizations, making them more competitive and innovative. ● MADI conceives design as an integral intervention that provides brand solutions spaces through four big values: empathy, prospecting, visual synthesis and prototyping; all of them of great value for Colombian SMEs. ● SMEs represent a bet on the future because of their strategic relevance (they generate 81% of the country’s workforce). ● It is recommended to extend the duration of the tutoring process, to rely on a digital tool (wiki) and to widen the scope of the Productive Transformation Program sectors to work with: ecotourism, hortifruitculture, auto parts and vehicles and chocolaterie and its raw materials; so that design thinking is established transversely in the country’s business development.
