Date: October 25th, 2013. 09.00-13.00 hrs
Place: Design Academy Eindhoven, Emmasingel 14, Eindhoven, The Netherlands
9.00 Welcome: New rules of the game
Design research is rapidly becoming participatory and collaborative: everything is co-X today and the notions of co-exploration, co-ideation and co-design are explored and applied around the globe and in various domains of business. What are the latest tools available that could help organisations to involve people in the development of better services? How to initiate and facilitate empathic conversations between design researchers, the people they recruit as participants, and the organisations? How to translate these deeper insights into people’s behaviour into the new meaningful propositions? How do organisations evolve to deliver those new values to people?
GOOD Morning will highlight a range of international case studies, that will be interspersed with active discussions in the audience, facilitated by design researchers from the Reach Network.
