IDEO is an international design and innovation consultancy founded in Palo Alto, California, United States[1] with other locations in San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Boston, London, Munich, Shanghai, Singapore, Mumbai, Seoul, and Tokyo.[2] The company helps design products, services, environments, and digital experiences.[1] Additionally, the company has become increasingly involved in management consulting and organizational design.[3]

IDEO was formed in 1991 by a merger of three established design firms: David Kelley Design (founded by David Kelley, who is also a professor at Stanford University), ID Two (founded by Britain's Bill Moggridge), and Matrix Product Design (founded by Mike Nuttall).[4] Office-furniture maker Steelcase had owned a majority stake in the firm,[3] but began divesting its shares through a five-year management buy-back program in 2007.[5] The founders of the predecessor companies are still involved in the firm. The current CEO is Tim Brown.

The firm employs over 550 people in the disciplines of human factors, mechanical, electrical and software engineering, industrial design, interaction design, and communication design.[6] IDEO has worked on thousands of projects for a large number of clients in the consumer food and beverage, retail, computer, medical, furniture, toy, office, and automotive industries. Notable examples are Apple's first mouse, Microsoft's second mouse, the Palm V PDA, and Steelcase's Leap chair. Major clients (as of 2004) included Procter & Gamble, PepsiCo, Microsoft, Eli Lilly, Ford, and Steelcase.

In 1999, the firm was the subject of the "Deep Dive" episode of ABC's Nightline; they redesigned a shopping cart in five days. In 2001, IDEO's general manager Tom Kelley wrote The Art of Innovation, and in 2005, The Ten Faces of Innovation (both co-written with Jon Littman. IDEO's current CEO Tim Brown published a book on design thinking called Change By Design (co-written with Barry Katz).

IDEO was featured in Gary Hustwit 2009 design documentary Objectified.

IDEO has won more of the BusinessWeek/IDSA Industrial Design Excellence Awards than any other firm.[7] IDEO has been ranked in the top 25 most innovative companies by BusinessWeek and does consulting work for the other 24 companies in the top 25.[8].

    Braindead Hero

    by: Udo

    For a long time he's been lucky man
    No difference if it's good or bad
    The trigger's his - the orders others
    No way to stop the final blow
    The message: here ya go
    The countdown's on a roll
    War against the world
    All systems deadly armed
    Machine, man, all in one
    They're all oblivious to the crime
    Braindead hero
    Braindead hero - out of the sun he comes
    Braindead hero
    Braindead hero - feel the blazing guns
    Now we got to blow his circuitry
    Drain the poison from his veins
    Degenerate - corrupt his memories
    Fire at will - just do or die
    The message: here ya go
    The countdown's on a roll
    War against the world
    All systems deadly armed
    Machine, man, all in one
    They're all oblivious to the crime
    Braindead hero
    Braindead hero -like a hammer from the sky
    Braindead hero
    Braindead hero - supersonic cry
    You better stay just where you are
    Consequences in the fire
    Braindead hero
    Braindead hero - out of the sun he comes
    Braindead hero
