Now that the business world "gets" design, what's next for the field? How can we prepare designers of tomorrow to address the rapid pace of change and increasing complexity brought on by technology, changing modes of production, and new customer expectations? How can businesses themselves be designed to better respond to today's needs?
The September 2015 issue of Harvard Business Review is devoted to defining how design can deliver value to business beyond helping organizations make better products and services. This includes design as an organizational capability central to strategy. Join IED and IIT Institute of Design for a discussion on Design Now.
