Thinking Ahead: The Changing Role of Design and Design Management in Business
How will future design leaders embrace the exploding awareness of design for business on a global level? Leading thinkers and practitioners will take an in-depth look at what the future may hold for design, leadership, and strategy. To further explore the theme, a thought-provoking breakout exercise will allow attendees to share their visions for the future. The goal will be to help design managers become design leaders, and design leaders to become organization leaders of the future.

O P I N I O N
Trophies or trinkets? Are we award show junkies?
Communication designers are sometimes criticised for valuing peer recognition through award schemes over business results achieved for clients. We want to know whether you are addicted to award schemes?

Good Design is Good Business
Kyoorius Designyatra 2007 aims to connect between design and business. Aligning with the theme, Kyoorius Designyatra 2007 presents to you some of the most influential strategic thinkers in the business of branding and visual communications. Here is a glimpse of what some of the speakers will be presenting:
Wally Olins - Branding Guru: Wally Olins will bring his wealth of experience behind building brands such as 3i, Akzo-Nobel, Repsol, Q8, Tata, The Portuguese Tourist Board, BT, Prudential, Renault and Volkswagen to Goa.
David Kester - UK Design Chief: As a prominent figure driving UK's design industry, David will be delivering case studies on the business and economic impact of design - the stories and the numbers of how integration of design had changed and added value to businesses.
Scott Goodson - Marketing Futurist: Scott Goodson established Strawberryfrog which merges advertising, entertainment, content, actions - a genuine integration across a multitude of platforms, media and new media. Scott will illustrate and compare the effectiveness of works done with this integrated model, drawing examples from Heineken, MSN, Old Navy, the Smart Car, Coke, Google, Ikea and Mitsubishi Motors.
Bill Cahan - Fearless Communicator: How to turn boring annual reports into emotional provoking branding tools? Bill Cahan shares his insights on the importance of research and analysis and uncovers his firm's unique and groundbreaking methods for creating corporate communications, including methods of fostering collaborations between the client and the agency.

The Leeds School of Architecture, Landscape and Design

'Design Activism' encompasses a wide range of real-life processes from greening neighbourhoods to transforming communities through participatory design action. This discussion-led symposium focuses on processes by which designers and creative communities innovate non-commercial, socially responsible design practices. Its emphasis is on exploring models that challenge existing conventions of design knowledge. Participation will allow for the deep sharing of experiences and anopportunity to network with other specialists in this growing field. Activities will include a mapping of the geography and evolution of design activism and the exploration of its various processes, practices and outcomes. Delegates will include specially invited 'design activists' from the region and beyond. There is no charge for participation in this symposium but places are limited.
