The seminar ‘Design for Business’ is a recurring event held during Wroclove Design Festival, which role is to present measurable market benefits resulting from the use of design. The aim of the seminar is to raise entrepreneurs’ awareness of design and provide them with practical knowledge of how to carry out design projects and collaborate with designers successfully.
The motto of the third edition of the Seminar, which will take place in May 2016, is ‘International Design’. Its participants will learn how design offices from Poland, Germany, Italy and Austria operate. Each country has its own design traditions and uses design in its economy to a various degree. On the basis of the case studies presented, the participants will learn how design helps to create innovation and build competitive advantage of companies from different countries and industries.
The success of the product on the international market is closely linked to its fit into the local culture and customer expectations. Designers are the best source of knowledge on this subject, because their core competence is deep understanding of users. Participation in the seminar will be an opportunity to learn the best international practices, gain knowledge about cultural differences in design and get acquainted with the global design trends.
Our speakers are people experienced in both fields of activity – in business as well as in design.
They will speak about their experiences, lead workshops and present interesting case studies. They will show the good and the bad examples and present the latest trends in their fields of activity.
Focusing on a market-oriented approach we are able to use design research and creative expression as strategic tools for its clients. It works with the potential or existing value system of a company to create solutions aimed accurately at a specific market, allowing the clients to differentiate their offerings from those of their competitors. The approach to each project is driven by in-depth research into the behaviour, desires and needs of the final user/consumer. Emo design believes that a proper use of the "design tool" provides a clear competitive advantage for any company while products get a clear and credible positioning.
