Many of the alumni and former staff have meanwhile joined prestigious companies (IDEO, Microsoft and Hitachi, to name just a few), or started their own companies (e.g. my very own Experientia), so it is of some comfort to know that the Institute’s impact will remain to be felt for a long while still.
