Göteborg Sweden 2006-09-30 The International Conference on Design & Emotion is a forum where practitioners, researchers and industry meet and exchange knowledge and insights concerning the cross-disciplinary field of design and emotion. Emotions arise towards people, towards places, towards food, and towards things. Emotions influence our well-being as well as our purchase decisions. From a design perspective, we need to know more about how artefacts elicit emotions. We also need to know more about the way we can identify the relevant emotional aspects and how we can evaluate the emotional impact of a particular design. The International Conference on Design and Emotion 2006 is the arena for these topics. 55 Sweden A forum where practitioners, researchers and industry meet and exchange knowledge and insights concerning the cross-disciplinary field of design and emotion. 2006-09-27 false http://www.de2006.chalmers.se/m/ppd/de2006/index.xml http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/55 branding, design, emotion, experience design, innovation, ux, xd Lisbon Portugal 2006-09-30 SHiFT will be all about emerging technologies, whether they’re the latest internet trend or the latest social or psychological development.

This new two day course is intended for all of you who have been working hard to help your organizations get the most out of design. We’ll cover the topics so many people have been asking us about, including: Day one -What makes products (and the companies that make them) successful -How design provides a repeatable approach to innovation -Why companies fail at innovation and design -Assessing how well your organization has incorporated design -Pros and cons of various organizational structures and processes for design and development -Determining what roles, processes, and structures are right for your company -New product definition vs. incremental innovation Day two -Principles and challenges in change management -Being an effective leader of change -Characteristics of successful change initiatives -Developing a change plan and building consensus around it -Identifying a demonstration project -Identifying ways to measure your success -Implementing a change plan and handling challenges along the way -Maintaining design and innovation as core values As in all Cooper U courses, we’ll provide plenty of content along with hands-on learning.

We’ll also give you opportunities to apply what you’re learning to your own organization so you’ll have the beginnings of a plan to share when you go back to the office. Instructors Kim Goodwin and Steve Calde will lead the course, which is limited to 20 people to ensure plenty of interaction. 468 CA Incorporating design into your organization's structure, process, and culture is one of the best ways to ensure ongoing and effective innovation.

A recent CEO survey by IBM shows that business models and business model innovation are on top of the executive agenda. Also, entrepreneurs across industries are searching for the most appropriate business models to bring new and innovative products and services to the market. Unfortunately, management literature provides little methodological guidance that helps executives and entrepreneurs systematically reflect on the topic of business model design and innovation. This workshop addresses that gap by providing participants with a powerful, tested and pragmatic approach that assists business people in designing competitive and innovative business models. The approach is based on the ?Business Model Canvas?, which allows business people to describe business models with a simple and common language based on 9 building blocks. This language can then be used to assess business models and come up with new and innovative business model alternatives. The approach appeals to senior executives, department heads, entrepreneurs and financiers alike, since all have a common need of identifying and implementing competitive and sustainable business models. In this workshop you will: * sense why it is indispensable for you to start thinking in terms of business models in today?s competitive landscape * learn how to describe your own business model(s) based on the intuitive and pragmatic Business Model Canvas approach * be able to generate business model alternatives in your own competitive environment * apply the Business Model Canvas approach in break-out sessions 531 NY At this workshop you will master a simple but powerful and systematic approach to understanding, analyzing, designing and changing business models 2008-10-10 false http://smartexperience.org/classes/business-model-design/ http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/531 http://events.boxesandarrows.com/event/logo/531/smartexperience.logo.png business, entrepreneur, innovation, management, models, strategy Utrecht Netherlands 2008-10-22 By the name of 'Design by Fire' Chi Nederland, the Dutch local chapter of ACM SIGCHI, organizes an international conference on interaction design.

Yes, you heard that right. Most shun failure, but in the right environment, you can get past the fears and inhibitions, and put the amazing power of studying failures to work for you. All those who participate in design, from interaction designers, to usability engineers, to managers and IA masters, fall victim to the same challenges when trying to bring good design into the world. From politics, to hubris, to downright incompetence, there is much we can we learn by confessing to, and examining the causes of, our failures. Success stories provide few lessons since everything went well. It’s the near-successes, the almost worked stories, and the complete failures that provide us the greatest education in how successful design happens. This fun, interactive talk, was one of our most popular at User Interface 13 last Fall. It explores why designers fail and offers advice, based on research from over 300 designers and engineers, on how to learn from and triumph in the face of these situations. -- $99 and Free Recording We're offering our lowest rate of just $99 and lifetime access to the recording of this presentation at no additional cost when you register with the promotion code BOXES.

The process is designed to uncover how the relationships between people, locations and things affect ideas in ways that written scenarios cannot. It enables rapid iteration of ideas and relationships through a dynamic process of acting and evaluating. The process reveals how people interact with services, products and each other on a physical, emotional and intuitive level.
