Workshop

In a world driven by quick wins and rigid processes, creativity is expected—but rarely nurtured. Imagine creative thinking not only as an innate talent but as a powerful strategic lever that can drive business impact via new design mindsets. Participants will strengthen their creative confidence with inventive problem-solving methods to create meaningful innovation in this audience-driven dynamic workshop. Through live creative challenges, breakout collaboration, and on-the-spot recalibration of your design tools, attendees will learn to reimagine familiar approaches through a new lens. We'll explore how design’s value can be reframed in today’s business landscape, technological disruption and economic uncertainty—and how designers can lead with relevance and resilience. If you think design is dead, show up and let this session prove otherwise.

The audience will learn...

1. Sharpen your creative superpower to break conventional thinking and generate relevant, impactful innovations.

2. Learn how to shape abstract ideas into powerful stories that spark action and build influence.

3. Practice real-time tools to transform insights into strategic outcomes, no fluff, no filler.

4. Reframe your creative value in today’s business language and learn how to communicate that value to non-designers.

5. Connect meaningfully with others through shared exercises that carry beyond the session and into your organization.

For 60 years, the Industrial Designers Society of America has worked to advance the practice of industrial design through education, information, community, and advocacy. Our roots stretch to the beginning of the profession, and our members are, and have been, some of the most celebrated industrial designers of all time. Today, we exist as a global voice for industrial design within a broad ecosystem of design disciplines and we celebrate the cross-functional overlap of many creative fields.
