Speaker
Dan Pink |
All of the
encounters we have with everything from teacups to bulldozers, from
mail delivery to healthcare services, have a profound effect on
our lives in numerous direct and indirect ways and in shaping our
futures. Mostly coming from businesses, they all spring from ideas
that go through a process to an end realization. This process can
empower or inhibit innovation leading to success, failure, or mediocre
performance.
This Summit will bring together the best and the brightest minds
to examine the concept, scope, and depth of empowered innovation,
specifically, the impact of context, purpose, and process on taking
ideas from inception to realization for business and societal benefit.
The Summit will be held in conjunction with an important exhibition
of Fifty Years of Design and Innovation at Braun, AG.

Designing From the User’s Experience
By Peter
H. Jones, Redesign Research |
Analyzing customer
needs and market trends are essential competencies for managing
complex design projects. However, after confirming user needs through
market research, design teams often focus on the product, neglecting
users until completing the product, or at best, usability testing.
From consumer goods to websites, many design-driven projects limit
front-end analysis to market research, focus groups, or concept
demonstrations. While these approaches are necessary, they overlook
the opportunity for designing from understanding the user’s
authentic experience.
