What is the Shape of Innovation?
is an object based workshop that inspires workplace conversation and creativity. Designed for The Innovation Cell within the United Nations Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs (DPPA), this workshop challenges participants to categorize uniquely designed objects with language commonly encountered at the UN and consider complex problems- such as diplomacy, trust, and security - from a new perspective. The objects function as the foundation of the workshop and are inspired by word pairings- qualitative attributes paired with the vernacular of the UN. This workshop leverages the potential for objects to translate meaning and spark important conversations.
What is the Shape of Innovation? exhibited in April 2022 at the United Nations World Creativity and Innovation Week. This project is a collaboration between Altimeter Design Group and The Innovation Cell.
