Innovation/05

The 9th European International Conference on Design Management

 

March 9-11, 2005

Kensington Marriott/Royal College of Art

London, UK

The Innovation Economy: We’ve walked on the moon, built the Net, and have decoded the genome. Have we run out of worlds to conquer? No. As a matter of fact, we’re on the cusp of a fresh innovation boom.—BusinessWeek, October 11, 2004

 

Kensington Mariott

What will be the role of design in the Innovation Economy? Does design have an opportunity to transform its role in our economic future? What role will design play in fostering responsible innovation? How will the infusion of design thinking into the innovation process facilitate bringing new technologies to market effectively, bringing significant improvements to the quality of our lives? Are design professionals prepared to meet these coming challenges? Are design educators building programs to provide leadership for these imperatives? Understanding and answering these questions is a formidable challenge. They will be addressed through extended, in-depth keynote sessions, lectures, and case studies.
