Legal Design Perspectives
Over the last few years, Legal Design has grown as a field of research and practice. The potential of design in the legal domain has been investigated and experimented in various sectors such as access to justice, dispute resolution, privacy indicators, policy prototyping, contractual negotiation. Being an interdisciplinary area of study, Legal Design combines different disciplines and methodologies and relies on insights from legal practice.
This book intends to contribute to the study and advancement of Legal Design by presenting different voices and perspectives from scholars and practitioners active in this field. The volume brings together critical essays on the nature and methods of Legal Design and illustrations from the practice. The contributions provide the readers with the state of the art of Legal Design and a prospective outline of its future development.illustrato

Product/Brand co-creation methodology crossing marketing, design thinking, creativity and management: ideas(r)evolution
This thesis introduce a new innovation methodology called IDEAS(R)EVOLUTION that was developed
according to an on-going experimental research project started in 2007. This new approach to innovation
has initial based on Design thinking for innovation theory and practice.
The concept of design thinking for innovation has received much attention in recent years. This
innovation approach has climbed from the design and designers knowledge field towards other knowledge
areas, mainly business management and marketing. Human centered approach, radical collaboration,
creativity and breakthrough thinking are the main founding principles of Design thinking that were adapted
by those knowledge areas due to their assertively and fitness to the business context and market complexity
evolution. Also Open innovation, User-centered innovation and later on Living Labs models emerge as
answers to the market and consumers pressure and desire for new products, new services or new business
models. Innovation became the principal business management focus and strategic orientation.
All this changes had an impact also in the marketing theory. It is possible now to have better strategies,
communications plans and continuous dialogue systems with the target audience, incorporating their insights
and promoting them to the main dissemination ambassadors of our innovations in the market.
Drawing upon data from five case studies, the empirical findings in this dissertation suggest that
companies need to shift from Design thinking for innovation approach to an holistic, multidimensional and
integrated innovation system. The innovation context it is complex, companies need deeper systems then
the success formulas that “commercial “Design thinking for innovation “preaches”. They need to learn how
to change their organization culture, how to empower their workforce and collaborators, how to incorporate
external stakeholders in their innovation processes, hoe to measure and create key performance indicators
throughout the innovation process to give them better decision making data, how to integrate meaning and
purpose in their innovation philosophy. Finally they need to understand that the strategic innovation effort it
is not a “one shot” story it is about creating a continuous flow of interaction and dialogue with their clients
within a “value creation chain“ mindset; RESUMO:
Metodologia de co-criação de um produto/marca cruzando Marketing, Design Thinking, Criativity
and Management - IDEAS(R)EVOLUTION.
Esta dissertação apresenta uma nova metodologia de inovação chamada IDEAS(R)EVOLUTION, que foi
desenvolvida segundo um projecto de investigação experimental contínuo que teve o seu início em 2007. Esta
nova abordagem baseou-se, inicialmente, na teoria e na práctica do Design thinking para a inovação.
Actualmente o conceito do Design Thinking para a inovação “saiu” do dominio da area de conhecimento
do Design e dos Designers, tendo despertado muito interesse noutras áreas como a Gestão e o Marketing.
Uma abordagem centrada na Pessoa, a colaboração radical, a criatividade e o pensamento disruptivo são
principios fundadores do movimento do Design thinking que têm sido adaptados por essas novas áreas de
conhecimento devido assertividade e adaptabilidade ao contexto dos negócios e à evolução e complexidade do
Mercado. Também os modelos de Inovação Aberta, a inovação centrada no utilizador e mais tarde os Living
Labs, emergem como possiveis soluções para o Mercado e para a pressão e desejo dos consumidores para
novos productos, serviços ou modelos de negócio. A inovação passou a ser o principal foco e orientação
estratégica na Gestão.
Todas estas mudanças também tiveram impacto na teoria do Marketing. Hoje é possivel criar melhores
estratégias, planos de comunicação e sistemas continuos de diálogo com o público alvo, incorporando os seus
insights e promovendo os consumidores como embaixadores na disseminação da inovação das empresas no
Mercado
Os resultados empiricos desta tese, construídos com a informação obtida nos cinco casos realizados,
sugerem que as empresas precisam de se re-orientar do paradigma do Design thinking para a inovação, para
um sistema de inovação mais holistico, multidimensional e integrado. O contexto da Inovação é complexo, por
isso as empresas precisam de sistemas mais profundos e não apenas de “fórmulas comerciais” como o Design
thinking para a inovação advoga. As Empresas precisam de aprender como mudar a sua cultura
organizacional, como capacitar sua força de trabalho e colaboradores, como incorporar os públicos externos no
processo de inovação, como medir o processo de inovação criando indicadores chave de performance e obter
dados para um tomada de decisão mais informada, como integrar significado e propósito na sua filosofia de
inovação. Por fim, precisam de perceber que uma estratégia de inovação não passa por ter “sucesso uma vez”,
mas sim por criar um fluxo contínuo de interação e diálogo com os seus clientes com uma mentalidade de
“cadeia de criação de valor
Exploring geolocation governance perspectives through the study of appropriation and collective action
Ce mémoire de maîtrise a été rédigé dans l’objectif d’explorer une inégalité. Une
inégalité dans les pratiques liées à la saisie et l’exploitation des données utilisateur dans
la sphère des technologies et services Web, plus particulièrement dans la sphère des GIS
(Geographic Information Systems). En 2014, de nombreuses entreprises exploitent les
données de leurs utilisateurs afin d’améliorer leurs services ou générer du revenu
publicitaire. Du côté de la sphère publique et gouvernementale, ce changement n’a pas
été effectué. Ainsi, les gouvernements fédéraux et municipaux sont démunis de données
qui permettraient d’améliorer les infrastructures et services publics. Des villes à travers le
monde essayent d’améliorer leurs services et de devenir « intelligentes » mais sont
dépourvues de ressources et de savoir faire pour assurer une transition respectueuse de la
vie privée et des souhaits des citadins. Comment une ville peut-elle créer des jeux de
données géo-référencés sans enfreindre les droits des citadins ? Dans l’objectif de
répondre à ces interrogations, nous avons réalisé une étude comparative entre l’utilisation
d’OpenStreetMap (OSM) et de Google Maps (GM). Grâce à une série d’entretiens avec
des utilisateurs de GM et d’OSM, nous avons pu comprendre les significations et les
valeurs d’usages de ces deux plateformes. Une analyse mobilisant les concepts de
l’appropriation, de l’action collective et des perspectives critiques variées nous a permis
d’analyser nos données d’entretiens pour comprendre les enjeux et problèmes derrière
l’utilisation de technologies de géolocalisation, ainsi que ceux liés à la contribution des
utilisateurs à ces GIS. Suite à cette analyse, la compréhension de la contribution et de
l’utilisation de ces services a été recontextualisée pour explorer les moyens potentiels que
les villes ont d’utiliser les technologies de géolocalisation afin d’améliorer leurs
infrastructures publiques en respectant leurs citoyens.This master’s thesis was started to explore an inequality. An inequality in the way users
of mobile web services hand over data, and an inequality in the way this data are
exploited. As it becomes commonplace for web companies to exploit their users’ data to
improve their services or generate advertising revenue, the public domain is left in the
dark, with little data to work with to improve public services. Notably, as cities are
increasingly striving to become ‘smart’, a lack of data and ethical ways in which to
exploit what little data exists is becoming increasingly problematic. How can a city create
georeferenced data to improve its infrastructures? How can this data be exploited whilst
respecting citizens’ privacy and security? Through a comparative study of the use of
OpenStreetMap (OSM), an open-source mapping platform, and Google Maps, we have
aimed to understand possible future uses of GPS technologies by government bodies.
Through a series of interviews with OSM and Google Maps users, we have apprehended
why users choose to use and contribute to a platform, and not to another. Using the
concepts of appropriation and collective action, as well as critical perspectives from the
study of immaterial capitalism, this data was then analyzed. This enabled us to
understand the underlying issues behind use and contribution practices in the GIS sector.
This understanding was then recontextualized in order to understand what government
bodies could do to create ethical smart cities that take into consideration the preferences
and concerns of the citizens these cities are increasingly designed to serve
A comparison of the CAR and DAGAR spatial random effects models with an application to diabetics rate estimation in Belgium
When hierarchically modelling an epidemiological phenomenon on a finite collection of sites in space, one must always take a latent spatial effect into account in order to capture the correlation structure that links the phenomenon to the territory. In this work, we compare two autoregressive spatial models that can be used for this purpose: the classical CAR model and the more recent DAGAR model. Differently from the former, the latter has a desirable property: its ρ parameter can be naturally interpreted as the average neighbor pair correlation and, in addition, this parameter can be directly estimated when the effect is modelled using a DAGAR rather than a CAR structure. As an application, we model the diabetics rate in Belgium in 2014 and show the adequacy of these models in predicting the response variable when no covariates are available
A Statistical Approach to the Alignment of fMRI Data
Multi-subject functional Magnetic Resonance Image studies are critical. The anatomical and functional structure varies across subjects, so the image alignment is necessary. We define a probabilistic model to describe functional alignment. Imposing a prior distribution, as the matrix Fisher Von Mises distribution, of the orthogonal transformation parameter, the anatomical information is embedded in the estimation of the parameters, i.e., penalizing the combination of spatially distant voxels. Real applications show an improvement in the classification and interpretability of the results compared to various functional alignment methods
