Who likes to touch siphons in public toilets?
I spotted this great #productdesign #innovation at Ben Gurion Airport, allowing you to push the siphon with your foot.

@AndreasWeck @t3n Aus Organisatonsperspektive – sehr nervig: Abhängigkeit von anderen Teams im Unternehmen. Man hat eine Idee, will voller Tatendrang was reißen, kommt aber wg. Abhängigkeiten nicht vorwärts. Besser: Max. autarke Teams, von denen jedes wie ein "Subunternehmen" funktioniert.

@Bosefina LOVE IT, Bo! Totally agree that most stories have a strong PR and marketing touch – we need more real "real talk". Deep sh*t. Go for it, please!
