Closing Keynote:Design for a Disruptive Age
Design Thinking
Purchase TicketsThe 21st century is one marked by upheaval, complexity, and uncertainty. The scope and scale of the challenges we confront as a human species are accelerating faster than our natural ability to conceive. At the same time, the scope and scale of our capabilities are also growing, faster than our natural modes of thinking. Our collective design challenge is to marry the two and to bring humanity’s best tools to bear on our biggest challenges, building a world that is more beautiful, more inclusive, and more resilient. In this “walking tour” of emerging trends and ideas, Andrew Zolli will explore the emerging forces of change that will shape this century and the critical role of design in addressing them.
In this session, you will:
● Learn about common challenges that face individuals, businesses, and communities, and how to subvert them.
● Understand the key elements of resilience, and how to apply them to your own experience.
● See the latest research and most relevant innovations for social and commercial resilience, with an emphasis on design thinking.
