Summary

Did you know that many of the most world-changing innovations of the past century wouldn’t exist, if it wasn’t for designers who thought beyond the average? From the modern internet as we know it, to the billion dollar audiobook market, innovation is driven by designs that solve real problems for real people on the edges, and thus create a more flexible, adaptive, and usable world for everyone. Inclusive design can help you and your team operationalize this sort of innovation, and turn visionary thinking into an every day tool. In this session, you’ll learn: - Why inclusivity unlocks product and design innovation - How to understand The ROI of design inclusion - How to avoid the costly risks of designing only for the averages - How to champion inclusive practices that prepare your organization for the future
