Flow Theory and Games?
Flow is widely accepted to be one of the fundamental reasons that people play games.  It is the essence of games.  For game designers, the question is not whether flow is important, but, rather how long you can keep players in flow.

How long can they keep you in the state of flow??

DESIGN THINKING IN LEADERSHIP

We think we are done to quickly

the human rule - all design activity ultimately social in nature
The amibiguity rule - design thinkers much preserve   etc in class notes

Design Thinking?  IDEOs??

Assessment description -  plan to emplement a change initiative with your main stakeholders over a period of no longer than 6 months.


Reflect on your leadership from your digital 2 activity and the insights into your leadership you

Lean 


human centred, mindful of process bias towards action, radical collaberation, culture or prototyping, show dont tell.


these are your stakeholders -
Innovation Diffusion lifecycle

innovators        Early Adopters          Early Majority      Late Majority         Laggards

me                      target your              See if it works      
                           early adopt             then I will try it
                                                          see your proof first


Only profile on first three sections above mainly the second as I am the innovator

 whereas innovators are Cosmopolites, early adopters are localities,  This adopter category, more than any other, has the highest degrees of opinion leadership in most systems.  Potential adopters look to early adopters for advice and information about an innovation

early adopters dont care just want to try
early majority - want to know it will work first

early adopters like phrase and like to be leaders, then become the peer educators

Identify your main stakeholders.  Analyse which ones are relevant for this change initiative.

How do you consciously identify your early adopters:  Who do you need to lead (in different skatholder groups) so that others will follow?  Mainly focus on the early adopters -
