“It used to be, long ago, that education, arts and business turned to Philosophy for advice on the structure of their institutions. Now the modern equivalent is Design, with people from Main Street to the White House turning to it for clear, intelligent, well-researched information that they can base their endeavors upon. Global design consultancy IDEO is #16 on Fortune's list of top companies that MBAs would like to work for, Fast Company's list of the top 25 most innovative companies, and is now a part of MIT's Media Lab, an "antidisciplinary" research convergence. IDEO's Fred Dust will offer an inside view of his front-of-the-line company and at the role of design in the modern world.”
Joshua Wyatt, Flavorpill
Design is everywhere these days. It has gone beyond simply creating attractive objects to propelling social innovation and redefining the human experience. Now hospitals and governments are looking to design firms for help. As senior partner at IDEO, one of the top design and innovation firms in the world, Fred Dust works on the forefront of design innovation.
