say hello to ambadoo.open!
Today we start a new project that we call ambadoo.open, an initiative together with Malmö University to open up our development and to trigger a discussion around the topics that we deal with. We’d like to invite you to take part of the things we do, and together create the future of your contact-whatever-you-want-to-call-it.
We believe you’ve got many of the answers that we ask ourselves when we develop & design. So instead of guessing > develop > release and realize that we guessed wrong we think a dialogue is a better way to move forward.
On a regular basis we’ll invite a small group to meet, discuss different topics, trying things out and give feedback. Apart from the meetups we have opened forums where anyone can join the discussions, both with topics from the meetups but it could be stuff you think are missing or you wonder about.
We’ve set up a collaborative notepad, a.k.a. etherpad which you can just dive into and take part of. There’s one Swedish and one English version for your preference, and we start of with asking three very straight forward questions:
- How are you dealing with contacts today?
- What’s the worst about the system(s) that you’re using today?
- How does your dream-contact-system look like?
We haven’t tried this before so we are a little nervous but think it’s really exciting and hope you all join in to the brave new world of open innovation.
