Inclusive Design is increasingly being used as a business tool for customer and user engagement. It is about engaging the widest number of people. This workshop will take you through the process of design in a few hours.

This workshop will show you how to engage with potential customers, introducing the concept of ‘lead users’. It will help you ensure that your ideas have relevance to the real world.

By completing this module you will have a basis for conducting research with people and a way of taking this forward. This module will give an introduction to the tools and techniques of people-centred innovation. All processes that will be taught aim to increase your innovation potential. This is not just a course for designers but is for anyone looking to enhance their creativity potential.

Chris and Rama have a track record of dealing with over 1o0 international organisations, communicating a design approach to business people, designers, researchers academics, policy makers and civil servants at various levels in an organisation. Companies have included: Heathrow, Panasonic, British Heart Foundation, Dyson, Ford, GlaxoSmithKline, Megaman, the NHS, Samsung, Sony, TATA Consulting Services, Toyota, Transport for London and Unilever.

PANEL TOPICS***

 

The State of Design Around the Globe (9:00 – 9:45am EDT)
Join these leaders from around the world to learn how Design and Designers are faring in various regions of the world. What are the strengths and deficits of Design – in consultancies, large companies and government? What role is Design playing (and should be playing) in business, society and culture? Are there emerging trends we should be watching and acting upon?

Digital Equity vs. Smart Cities (based on a Linkedin article written by Jeff) (9:45 – 10:30am EDT)
Too often smart city projects (in the US) have been tilted toward attracting the applause of privileged groups and have not sought to address the needs of those without ready access to social or financial impact. How can cities take action differently? Covid-19 has demonstrated the need for local governments to actively support essential workers who use public transportation, where the majority drives their own cars – a form of insulation. Are city Chief Information Officers focusing on narrowly tailored success metrics? What role can design and tech experts play to create a better balance for ALL citizens?

CASE STUDIES

  • Atlas Case Study
    Chelsey Wickmark, Senior Experience Lead for Markets NA - Government / Public Sector, Philips Experience Design

    The ATLAS project was an invaluable opportunity to learn from our veteran communities as we re-examined the multi-dimensional barriers to healthcare access that exist in many of today’s rural communities. This project was as much about designing the right coalition of partners and community members needed to deliver care in non-traditional settings, as it was about designing the telehealth technology, environment and service experience.

    The impact of this work really stems from the openness and enthusiasm of all these partners to come on this wonderful, participatory design journey with us.
  • Mapping the COVID-19 Pathway
    Richard Eisermann, Head of Design, Connected Care at Philips

    The global healthcare crisis engendered by the COVID-19 pandemic forced both the public and private sectors to respond with speed, agility and scale. Richard Eisermann, Head of Design for Connected Care at Philips will share the stories of how Experience Design played a pivotal role in the development of solutions focused on patient engagement, care pathways and telehealth, and how those ideas continue to evolve and impact the business.
