About Business Matters
Business Matters is a bi-monthly series exploring the relationship between business and design. Design is about solving problems. Business is about getting results.
It seems logical that these two practices would naturally pair up but often they don’t. In this series we aim to ask questions such as:
– How can Design prove Business Results (ROI)?
– What is Design Thinking? (demystifying the hype)
– How can designers get to have a seat at the executive table?
– What kind of business problems can design help to solve?
– Can businesses use design thinking to their advantage?
This is not meant to be a theoretical series about processes and concepts. We aim to present concrete examples in the way of case studies and personal stories, what has worked and what hasn’t.
