Managing and Leading design from a European perspective | Online
About this event
Europe is a world-leader in design, and innovation. According to the 2017 Global Innovation Index, European countries occupy 4 of the 5 top spots in its global survey of 130 economies. So what can you learn from Europe's past and present leading design practices, and how they innovate, manage, and lead design?
In this talk, hosted by Frans Joziasse and Jay Peters of PARK, the international design leadership consultancy who has been working with clients such as Audi, LEGO, Miele, Nestle, Sony, Kimberly-Clark, Novo Nordisk, BASF, Unilever, Glaxo Smith Kline, and many other leading global brands on their design excellence journeys since 1998, we will look at how Europe manages design and leads innovation. With offices in the EU and the US, PARK has a unique perspective into design leadership from a global perspective.
