Today’s innovations will carry the day if not only the product but the entire process of its creation is succinctly structured, according to IFA organisers. Digitisation has hugely boosted the significance of the design factor: Products, processes, communication, interaction and service – all of if benefits from sound structuring. Accordingly, the development of a design culture counts among the key tasks of any company.
The “Design” session will look into the ways in which successful value chains in business and society are structured.
