In the long stream of my conference posts, here’s something interesting (never mind that they are sponsored by Microsoft : P).
The design Leaderships series are online 1 hour-long seminars and the next one is on a subject that really interests me and very much related to the “experience economy” idea and by extension service design.
The Post-Industrial Economy: Design for Sustainability & Profit
Gianfranco Zaccai, President & CEO, Design Continuum
“We are well into a post-industrial age and it is becoming ever clearer that sustainability is not only a moral imperative, but good business. In fact, companies such as General Electric and British Petroleum have identified sustainability as a core mission. The field of Industrial design is also in a moment of transition into a post-industrial design era where the expression “less is more” is taking on more than a Bauhaus mantra. In the future, truly inspiring design will be that which provides users and consumers with greater experiences, while taking away unnecessary material and complex information.”
