Today’s society is making great leaps in its effort to obtain ever more and ever more specific know-how in various specialties, with the consequence that the structures of today’s companies are become increasingly complex. This in turn leads to problems at the points of interface, which calls for a comprehensive approach to solutions.Creating Desired Futures defines design a creative, analytical method to develop and explore alternative solutions to complex problems, and it shows that design is particularly well suited to the business world’s current need for innovative strategies. In twenty-four essays by designers, architects, and representatives of large companies such as Nike and Shell, the book shows how such a design-based approach can help define, assess, and solve problems for companies. It presents not only specific strategies from actual practice but also innovative approaches from the world of corporate consulting. Essays by researchers and teachers discuss theoretical aspects of the subject "Design Thinking." Michael Shamiyeh is a practicing architect with his own firm (Shamiyeh Associates) and also founder and direction of the DOM (Design—Organisation—Media) Research Laboratory at the Kunstuniversität Linz. He works on the relevance of creative, analytical approaches in architectural thinking to solve complex problems in the area of Strategic Business Thinking and Innovation. Shamiyeh has received numerous awards, including the Innovation Prize (2008) of the Austrian Federal Ministry for Science and Research and well as the Future Award (ZuP, 2003) and the Award for Entrepreneurship (2000), both awarded by the Austrian government.

Headed by the slogan “Design Thinking,” a debate has unfolded over the last ten years about design methods, which goes far beyond the specialist boundaries of design disciplines. Executives and business owners today recognize the potential for economic innovation lying in the creative and analytical mindset of designers. The extensive literature available on “Design Thinking” focuses on the methodology of the design process, while the conditions necessary to spark innovation processes in the first place, have long remained more or less unnoticed. Driving Desired Futures starts here and asks how established innovations arise from a simple idea. What criteria are mostly likely to be the basis from which the ideas of an individual can take hold in a social system? What are conditions, under which they can become incorporated into a diverse group of people? What topics induce managers to choose and then to invest in a specific idea? Questions such as these are pursued in international contributions by renowned experts, using the first digital camera as a case study. They identify the individual and social processes associated with the exchange and implementation of new ideas.

The book Create a Better Future by Working on Your Personal Dream is to define dreams and elaborate on what the dreams are and what dreaming is not. It is a wake-up call book for many people who are suffering in the midst of plenty simply because they actually have dreams and talents that can shift them to a better stage of their lives but the fear of the unknown is preventing them from making any move or use their talents to their own advantage and to the benefit of their communities and the world at large. The book is also written to let many people who are talented but haven't discovered their talents to discover their talents through examples and advice given in the body of this book and to remind readers that relying on their fathers' wealth or their uncles or aunties abroad cannot help their dream. Possible channels for fulfilling dreams are touched in the book for as many that are on the crossroads on their way to success to study and be encouraged to put into practice. This book is to remind the readers that people are poor not because they don't have money in their bank accounts but because they lack dreams, vision, and purpose and by exhibiting fear of unknown in their mind. Among the aim of this book is to remind the readers that borrowers are slaves to the lenders and to remind them that he who controls your time has control on your destiny and has a great influence on your life. That is the case of employers to employees regardless of your position in your present jobs as employee. Reasons why many university and college degree certificates holders are poor and serving as slaves to people in authority and the few rich who can take risks and work on their dreams even though they don't bag as much university degree is emphasized on in this book. More also, one of the major purposes of this book is to remind the brilliant students that school rewards people for their memory. Life rewards people for their creativity and ability to solve problems. Your degree or certificate is not the cure to poverty; the cure to poverty is your ability to see and seize opportunities. Possible advice to the common problems facing the university and college graduates that are struggling to make ends meet and those that are making it but want to shift to the next level of their greatness are included in chapters of this book. The power of simple things is described in the chapter of this book by showing examples of simple thing that are easy for people to do to transform their lives but they keep failing to do at every point of their lives daily. This is among the reasons why this book is published. The constant law of wealth creation is mentioned in this book. Possible and simple ways of starting and establishing businesses with possible steps to take in transiting from your regular jobs to your own business without becoming jobless in between the transit is in this book. The ways to see your future are in the book. Reading this book will allow employees to know that by working for people, they will make a living. While working on their businesses will make them a fortune. The daily habits of the few rich and what they are doing daily to stay on top of the ladder and keep making people serve them and their generations are in this book. The ability to turn challenges into opportunities and to diffuse the fear of the unknown in the mind of those who don't have hope in their future by letting them know that they are unstoppable by showing them how will be read in this book. The way you think has a great role to play concerning what you will become in life. Your thought is what you become. If you cannot change your thought, you cannot change your life. This book was written to encourage the readers on the need to think progressively and the positive effects of progressive thinking. Inclusive in this book is the need for the reader to be well-informed in whatever areas in business, career, or community they find themselves. The sure path to failure is when a man is ignorant and yet rejects every opportunity to obtain relevant knowledge. If you know your assignment, you will know what your needs are. Where you will get to in life is determined by your assignment. Reading this book will open ways for readers on how to recognize individual assignments and how to work in fulfilling the assignment rather than wasting time in doing what they were not called to do. Time is such a commodity that when spent can never be recovered. This book encourages readers to rise to their various challenges and reminds the readers of the importance of time management. Overall, this book serves as the GPS to navigate through the basic challenges of life and as a daily life devotional and motivational tool that encourages people to face and overcome the daily life challenges. Many of these reasons and more to be discovered as you read on the book are inclusive. I strongly believe the confidence needed to believe in yourself and instinct to work on your personal dream will be developed as you read the book.
