Design talks Business is a space where change architects and change producers meet – namely, the entrepreneurs, strategists, managers and designers who boldly create beyond the limitations of today’s solutions.
The deepening role of design in business and the potential inherent in the dynamically changing human of the Anthropocene era is one of many touchpoints for business and design. This is why on the 13th and 14th of July 2018, in the Pomeranian Science and Technology Park in Gdynia, 300 participants from across industries will meet. They will talk about the strategic role in business and how delivering client-centric value creates business potential.
Based on the Error, this year's topic of the Gdynia Design Days festival, over 20 speakers and facilitators from different parts of the world were invited to share their inspiration, fails, cases and methods. Planned forms of interaction between the participants include inspirational sessions, case studies as well as practical workshops and networking. Most of all, Design Talks Business is a meeting place and a multidisciplinary event where participants have the opportunity to leave familiar frameworks in search of inspiration, cooperation, contacts and how-to advices.
Surplus, totally new user needs and dynamic, constant change. It characterizes the times in which we live, produce, work and look for answers to the most important questions. How to work with the potential of a change as well as related challenges and failures? How to choose the best value for the market, company, and for ourselves? How to create what contemporary human and his environment really need?
