Following the Direction of Design
Developing consumer demands and ongoing external influences are driving the shift that is being observed within the design space.
To be successful and relevant when it comes to design is to remain forward thinking through analysis of these drivers that are initiating industry developments. This is why FutureX provides presentations, Q&A sessions, workshops and panel discussions on the trajectory of human centered design, its influence on digital advancements, as well as the potential for significant impact.
Forecasting of the future of your products and services is essential in understanding how to survive in a rapidly changing landscape. However, careful consideration of not only how this can support your design, but also of potential unintended consequences that are associated with digitally focused UX design, is crucial in remaining on the ball.
The future of design is being influenced by innovative digital technologies that have the ability to both help and hinder designers. Therefore, innovation in this field requires insight and understanding. FutureX’s workshops and presentations can provide you with the strategic foresight required to identify the most beneficial approach for your business.
Our industry experts will provide thought-provoking discussions on the future of design, and guidance on how YOU can maximise the benefits that technology has to offer.
