Creaholic used the BMGEN canvas for several projects, such as a breakthrough electronic shower that drastically diminishes the consumption of water and energy compared to a conventional shower (internship by Charles-Henry Dubey, HEC Lausanne).
Elmar has co-authored with Giles Garel the book “La Fabrique de l’innovation”, which presents the creation of the Swatch watch.
The book uses and presents the “C-K theory” (wikipedia), “a concept-knowledge theory which is both a design theory and a theory of reasoning in design”, developed by Armand Hatchuel and Benoît Weil (Ecole des Mines, Paris).
I also use the C-K theory in my class for the PhD programme “Design science research in IS” organised this year by CUSO (web). With Jan Ondrus, we authored the paper “C-K design theory for information systems research” at DESRIST’09.
