Speaking at Design Students

Today 13th November we’ll be speaking at 2 different groups of Design Students at Politecnico di Milano.

During the morning we speak about wikinomics and how to understand users behavioural patterns and integrate them with crowdsorcing and social media rules.

We’ll try to give to students a bright overview about involved topics and, more over, we aim to discuss with them on specific emerging trends that could enable innovative ideas and/or solutions, both on business and/or on social sides.

Today we mainly focus on User Experience Design and Research activities to offer the right methodological tools to answer the most relevant questions when involved in understanding such complex scenarios, like the ones related to designing social services.

It’s possibile to have a look to the slideshow below:

Together to the slideshow I’ll use show videos in order to better explain some keyConcepts.

More over we’ll show some videos about services and products such as:

More over other slideshows are interesting and other resources are availbale to the students.

After lunch we’ll meet the students from the DensityDesign Lab, just to introduce opportunities for them to better be involved in our business and start sharing with them thoughts and ideas about how to improve the design of information visualization solutions to let users understand and move into complex systems.
