Philips Design’s Ideation Quest in Second Life (SLURL) explores how to effectively combine the emerging technology of virtual worlds with a customer-centric perspective of open innovation. The aim is to start some communication and to attract people from the Second Life community and Philips Design friends group, and to introduce the island to people “as a place to cooperate and explore the future by design.” [...]

the Ideation Quest is reallly an experiment has not been announced with great fanfare. I agree that a more innovative approach than the traditional as you call it “gimme-all-your-goodies” way would be beneficial. What kind of modell would you suggest?
Whats your SL name so that I can invite you also to the Ideation Quest group?

There is a new group now too now called Ideation Quest plus Live Journal Updates Philips Design journal, http://philips-design.livejournal.com/ They are looking for feed back!

Did you learn of this through the Philips SL Group (to which I applied but never heard back and now probably wouldn’t care to join)? And if Philips isn’t going to get the word out with more enthusiasm, how do they expect this to succeed? especially with a huge gimme-all-your-goodies approach like this: “but Philips retains right to use, publish and eventually commercialize.” (FAIL)

Other than the fact that Philips is *in* Second Life, I’ve seen no reason to be impressed, I’m sorry to say. When I’d first heard they were entering SL, I had relatively high hopes. Now I’m hoping another design group takes up the challenge; and if frog design can finally move beyond “object is the story” thinking, I’d be happy to see them.
