DMI Transforming Design - Conference Post

9th May, 2010

With close to 220 delegates representing 32 countries and 17 presenters scrambling to revise travel plans last month due to the Icelandic volcanic ash disruptions, DMI made the difficult decision to postpone the Transforming Design conference and events set for 21-22 April.

The new date is 7-8 September at One Wimpole Street, London.

Transformation is as much a way of thinking as it is a result. Design is now recognized as an enabler of business transformation, because design leads change which is critically needed to save and solve our future. It is a solution that addresses problems, and problems behind problems.

Raymond Turner, a conference presenter, stated, "Transforming Design is a very important subject for our industry and this conference is set to get this debate 'into the open', and many people will miss the chance to engage in the debate from the beginning."

Co-chairs Oliver King, Founder, Engine Service Design and Clive Grinyer, Director, Customer Experience, Cisco Internet Business Solutions Group will help guide the same enthusiasm speakers and delegates in September. Together with Tom Lockwood and DMI, the conference will explore the connections and transformation capabilities of design management in three important areas:

• Social and public sectors
• New products and services
• Business innovation
