Learning from Denmark's Kaospilot: What should a collaborative design firm be?
a series of periodicals that examine the monokoto we were concerned about in order to think about our company's future nonsta futuristic conference. Getting Started.
The first is Chaos Pilot, a business design school in Denmark.
Speaking of Nordic countries, work is focused in a short period of time to produce results and from evening on we value our time with family or friends. It is said that there are such lifestyles, very attractive ...!
But not only in the WEB production industrythat we're in, more complex and sophisticated work I guess they're doing it.
Is it possible to coexist with the Nordic style and complex and sophisticated business?
I would like to find hints for such a question from the chaos pilot.

Chaos Pilots
What is a chaos pilot? Business Design School in Denmark Yes.
The purpose of the foundation was to create To develop human resources who can demonstrate creative leadership.
Despite the three-year program and long-term program, there are people from all over the world who want to make a difference.
Many of our graduates are entrepreneurial or leadership, aiming to solve social issues through business.

Why We Focus on Chaos Pilots
As we reported at the beginning, our current business is complex and sophisticated.
For example, the work we do at Shopify Consultation:
Branding, marketing, finance, engineering, design, production management, purchasing, inventory management, logistics, store management, customer service and customer support.
And I need a wide variety of knowledge and skills, but naturally no one can do all this alone.
Of course, there are also areas where our customers have more overwhelming experience and knowledge than we do.
So what experts do is they collaborate, A methodology is needed to "collect the knowledge and ideas that each person has." That's it.
and as an axle for that, nonsta
- Design Thinking in Design
- Lean in Management
- Agile in Technology
We use the method of "responding" (more on this). here I'm telling you. )
At one time, when the representative Takasaki was investigating design thinking, he found that there were two main groups: “America’s IDEO School” and “European Chaos Pilot School”.
this. European Chaos Pilots "I felt like there was a methodology for how to do the rickety part that doesn't work with idealism alone in entrepreneurship." said Takasaki.
The “Creative Leadership” advocated by chaos pilots is defined as:
It is a skill that can lead creative collaboration to grow people and ideas. Creative collaboration is not our “someone” but rather our “everyone” way of working and creating results that we never imagined. Yes. the official note of cocreative action design farm rare. more
"How to Work Whole People Can Be Creative."
"Producing results that I hadn't imagined."
I want to learn tips from chaos pilots about team building, and so I started thinking.

chaos pilot flow, how to build a team.
So, how do you create a team where everyone can be creative?
In the class of chaos pilot, learning is carried out as follows.
- first of all, knowing what you are. You understand what kind of person you are, what you want to do and why you want it.
- the next thing you do is create a team. Create the teams you need to achieve your goals and understand each other’s values.
- and practice. They influence each other in the team and find ways to solve their problems.
For example, the school’s Creative Leadership Program includes projects that address challenges faced by real clients and governments.
In a normal business school, you first learn the business theory and then work on your project.
Chaos pilots, on the other hand, start by working on a project and then replace what we’ve learned in retrospect with an existing theory or create our own.
And this way,
- i don't know the theory, so i have to think about it myself.
- a step in realizing one's uniqueness by interacting with friends in retrospectives)
That’s what happens.
The uniqueness of oneself is difficult to notice on its own.
but by having an objective perspective while having a dialogue see tips on how one can contribute to a project 。
This leads to a sense of self-efficacy and an opportunity for them to work independently on the project.
And at the same time, you also knowtheir background and way of thinking We will work together with members who have diverse values to solve problems.
So with chaos pilots,
First of all, understanding yourself and the other person
-- and how to influence each other and practice them
They’re creating a team that can co-create together.

creation of an environment that is easy for everyone to say
As we’ve seen, “dialogue” is becoming more important in creating co-creating teams.
In order to capture various ideas, it is necessary to create an environment where everyone can say things easily.
And as a concrete way to do that,
- think alone at first, exchange ideas with your neighbors, then talk to the team and announce in front of everyone
- minigame that can understand everyone's personality
- relaxing exercise
- Each person shares their purpose at the beginning of a workshop, and learning at the end.
It was introduced.
Finally,
We looked at examples of chaos pilots this time and found out that they reflect the idea of chaos pilots in-house.
For example, the announcement of a new employee's life curve.
Each and every one of our staff creates a life curve, presenting and sharing what was good or bad in your life so far, which leads to the chaos pilot’s “first understanding you and your partner.
In addition, we pair up to tackle business challenges. "Pair Pro." 。
I have a habit of thinking on the desk because information collection does not stop when working alone, but it is thanks to the fact that people who work together with pair pros put more emphasis on practice and raise their perspective before entering swamp.
This leads to chaos pilots’ “doing things that affect each other” and by bringing together one another’s areas of expertise, they lead to results faster than working alone on the task.

Utilizing these learnings and experiences, we have also introduced “Design Sprint” in our website creation with customers.
Through dialogue, we provide a place to clarify issues and confirm the direction that should be aimed together.
In order to achieve a common goal together with our customers, each and every one of us, bringing in experience and ideas.
We will continue to pursue the way of design farms that we create together.
