Had a pleasure to meet this Gentleman, Dougald Hine, during our Tiimiakatemia's creativity program visit to Kaospilots, in Århus, Denmark. Dougald gave a very inspiring and thought-provoking lecture for the third year students at the Kaospilots, and did indeed a very good job. I will check out more of his talks, and look forward to invite him to Finland, soon, too.
The question is not 'how do we become the best in the world?' but 'how do we become the best for the world?'

Our 3'rd amazing day in Nairobi is coming to an end and we would like to give you all a little update on our current and upcoming strategy to find the best possibilities for the implementation of a Social Lab in Nairobi in October 2012.
Networking, feedback, prototyping in the wild!
Already in the airplane on our way to Nairobi we gave out surveys to the passengers joining us on our travel, asking for insights and information to help us get the best possible start in Nairobi. To our surprise the outcome of these was not only information and insights, but we also made some valuable connections for our later work. People have been showing enormous engagement in our initiative and we have already exchanged e-mails and phone numbers with several people who wish to help us finding the right connections or wish to be part of a test workshop we are holding next week. Where ever we go, people are welcoming us with open arms. It shows great potential and possibilities for a successful cooperation. Thanks to all of you for your great hospitality and help, hopefully we will pay back with an amazing project.
Boniface N. Githinji (Picture)
Boniface is a Kenyan entrepreneur we met at Startup Garage, (which is a hub which helps start-ups and a lot more).. who after university had a business idea, but didn't know how to get started. (http://www.humanipo.com/blog/117/Startup-Garage-Nairobi-Launched)
Boniface went to NaiLab which is very close concept wise with Social Lab and got the help needed to kick off his business. Now he is working with 200 schools in Kenya and has 2 employees and expanding as we speak. You can read his thoughts on incubation labs at http://www.tusqee.com/blog/?p=94
Next week is full of appointments with universities, NGO's, incubators and local people- most of them made through direct approach; hand shakes, listening and lots of smiles.

This is the video we made prior to actually having a client. The content as a pitch is outdated but it shows the frames for our school assignment and maybe also us as a group.
