Panel Discussion: Open Brands

Building brands digitally is a given now. It’s a critical part of any brand manager’s role. The winning brand experiences are those that now tap consumers to co-create their future. OPENESS needs new talent, new thinking, new models, new risks, new interpretations of ROI. Interaction Designers have always focused and cared only about delivering compelling memorable experiences, that ensure the consumer is at the center of the experience. How does/is the “social-web empowered consumer” drive brands and designers of brand experiences to think differently about their brand message & identity? What are the characteristics of a truly Open Brand? Many traditional brand managers think about Open Brand as a multi-channel strategy, yet poorly execute on delivering a consistent experience across those channels, leaving users with very fragmented experiences. This panel brings three senior experience design leaders to discuss the important role interaction designers have in driving Open Brand development in today’s hyper-digital marketplace. The discussion will focus on laying a definition to what Open Brands characteristics are and how companies can move towards delivering Open Brand experience to their customers via each touchpoint they design for in their brand strategy.

Panel Discussion: Design Led Startups

There is an exciting and increasingly popular trend where the field of Design is increasingly popping up in various areas of the startup and entrepreneurship worlds. The reputable Silicon Valley venture capital firm, Kleiner Perkins, launched a Design Fellows program, in the fall of 2012, to attract talented designers to work for KP and match them with portfolio companies they have investments in. IDEO started their own “Startup In Residence” program in the Fall of 2012, an incubator like program where IDEO can help startups at their “earliest stages of evolution” by infusing them with their Human-Centered Design framework. Before both of these efforts, designers themselves embraced entrepreneurship as evidenced by the Designer Fund, an angel fund of designers who invest in designer founders through mentorship, funding and access to large professional networks to support these budding young designer led businesses . On the talent side, designers are increasingly looking for ways to work on real problems and create solutions users find so valuable that they will use it even if it isn’t well-designed or well-engineered. They look outside of their mundane corporate and agency jobs, for more meaningful problems and opportunities to expand their design craft and mind, enhancing the end value of the end experiences. Often designers feel they have many great ideas from their practice of the design process of discovering problems rooted in understand the problems people have. This panel brings together a group of designers and entrepreneurs to discuss the real value of design in the startup world, how designers can think about entering the entrepreneurship world and what it takes to “jump ship” and start your own company. This panel is not to be missed if you have the itch to start your own company!
