Embrace a human-centred, design-led approach to innovation...
The Show Must Go On… 🙂
In the true spirit of design thinking, we are learning on our feet, pivoting our ideas to bring you Design Thinking Ireland 2020 – The Virtual Experience! We wouldn’t want you to miss our 7th annual event!
Companies across all sectors are challenged. And with challenges come opportunities. The challenges presented are bringing together a complex blend of product design, experience design, service design and business model problems that are looking for creative solutions.
Our present world means many companies are being forced to rapidly respond to changing customer environments, accelerating product and service lines, and flexing operations to meet current and future demands. Innovation and R&D has a key role to play, and design thinking is a powerful approach to leverage.
Leaders of innovation, along with those from all functions involved in the design and delivery of products, processes and services should join this event. Whether you are interested in exploring how design thinking could help you, or a seasoned practitioner seeking to grow your experiences, it’s a chance to be educated, inspired and connected.
Engage with us from the comfort of your surroundings. Learn from extremely accomplished Irish and international design thinking leaders and industry practitioners. Connect with a wide community of people from all walks of life.
This unique event in Ireland’s calendar is now even more accessible than ever before. Be part of it!
