Design of is the future
Until recently, one of the biggest challenges for organisations was to deploy their IT capabilities to achieve the highest possible efficiencies within their business processes. However, changing consumer behaviour and emerging technologies demand that organisations make an even more difficult transition to become extremely customer-centic. Many organisations are really struggling to make this transition.
Front-end and design practices are all about shifting your focus and efforts towards creating value for the people you are designing for. The opportunities for you as a designer are endless, and the impact that you can make is real. The role that design will play within organisations is becoming vital for survival. In his talk, Auke will explore these opportunities and provide a glimpse into the future of design.
