Designed to Help – the effectiveness of design
What do we mean by design? Why it is so valuable to business? And why you really notice design when it is done badly? Drawing on Simon’s 20 years’ experience in the industry, he will show examples of good and bad design and how it can add real value across all businesses and brands, whether large or small. Exploring how considered design can solve any problem. Design thinking can transform everything, from culture and brand, through to sales and marketing.
