Tangible Futures, with Victor Lombardi - AIGA Colorado

AIGA Colorado Experience Design presents:

Tangible Futures | Creating Designs of the Future to Influence the 
Present 
with Victor Lombardi

Wed, Aug 16, 2006
Denver, CO

---

Edward de Bono has said, "You can analyse the past, but the future 
has to be designed." As designers, we have influence not only over 
the products and services people will use in the future but also in 
how companies plan for the future. We can improve the quality of our 
influence by using our design skills to more actively anticipate and 
shape the future. Examples of this vary from auto designers' concept 
cars to Bruce Mau's Massive Change (www.massivechange.com). 
These "tangible futures" act as a clear, compelling vision that 
helps organizations make progress. 

We'll look at examples of some tangible futures and discuss how they 
can be used to help organizations create a vision and then work 
toward that vision in a strategic way. Designers and managers can 
both benefit from this event.
