Impact-Driven Design: Expanding the Design Toolbox to Address Tomorrow's Challenges

Nina Valkanova, Global Lead for UX Design & Strategy at MING Labs (Keynote, 17:30, Auditorium)

From designing for mechanical interaction to designing for connection, engagement and collaboration: UX design has always shaped our behavior. In recent years, we have observed the recognition of its strategic value within the highest levels of corporations. Yet now, more than ever, we need to reflect on the unprecedented impact of UX design on people, society and the planet. How can we make sure our ideas turn into meaningful outcomes, beyond profitability and a smooth engaging experience? In this talk, MING Labs' Global UX Lead Nina Valkanova shares an expanded view on Experience Design, and discusses a set of concrete approaches that can help us shape the products and services of tomorrow with a responsible, impact-driven mindset.
