The world is facing complex challenges related to environment, technology and inequality. Businesses look to solve problems, design being one of the key tools. But design thinking and service design, for example, are only singular aspects of arts and design. Finding sustainable instruments of adding value and creating long-term competitive advantage are key questions in integrating arts and design into business. How do you avoid narrow thinking and design sustainable growth?
Join the discussion about arts & design expertise and why they are needed in the business world. Speaker will be Anna Valtonen, a leading expert on the subject. For a more detailed introduction to Valtonen, see a little further down the page.
All four TEK Talks events will take the form of webinars. The discussions and presentations will be fully open and accessible to all. They will also be recorded. This webinar is in English, but the other TEK Talks events are in Finnish.
