This forum unpacks how to use design strategy to create social impact and commercial value in 2019 and beyond.
Many companies have made some form of investment in building a design capability but struggle to unlock value both immediately and over the long-term. According to the Design Management Institute, when design principles are applied to strategy and innovation, the success rate for innovation dramatically improves. Design-led companies such as Apple, Coca-Cola, IBM, Nike, Procter & Gamble, and Whirlpool have outperformed the S&P 500 over the past 10 years by an extraordinary 219%. This forum will share valuable insights and practical tools to identify and design for underserved segments and unmet needs.
What we will cover:
Moving from design thinking to design doing;
Landing design at scale in established enterprises;
Reverse innovation and other practical ways to unlock commercial benefit; and
So many tools, so little time – choosing the right tool for the job.
