Designing Ideas, Not Objects
More that ever, the design of things is driving change into markets, and defining the idea of what a company means to its constitueants. Today, you can’t just create something, make and deliver it, and then expect it do well. Products must be more than just a “thing”. They need to built off relevant ideas, and the story needs to be driven throughout the entire proposition in an authentic way. Though observations and work examples, designer RobertBrunner will talk about why the notion of "ideas, not objects" is so important now, and how he and his company have created products that embody this principle. Highlighted will be his work for Barnes and Noble, Polaroid, Fuego, and Beats by Dr. Dre.

Where Good Ideas Come From: Steven Johnson at the LSE
Steven Johnson has spent twenty years immersed in creative industries, was active at the dawn of the internet and has a unique perspective that draws on his fluency in fields ranging from neurobiology to new media. In his new book, he identifies the key principles to the genesis of great ideas, from the cultivation of hunches to the importance of connectivity and how best to make use of new technologies. By recognising where and how patterns of creativity occur – whether within a school, a software platform or a social movement – he shows how we can make more of our ideas good ones. This event celebrates the publication of his latest book Where Good Ideas Come From: A Natural History of Innovation.
