Lean experience design
In the Customer Age design has become one of the most powerful business ally in the challenge to create and offer products and services that can provide superior quality experiences. Many companies and brands dare to take this challenge during the design of their services but usually they eve never applied an iterative and incremental approach.
So how is possible to develop an experience design project in a complex context with a lean approach and what are the effects on the client? I will present a real case regarding the redesign of the Gazzetta dello Sport experience and the impact on stakeholders in sharing, learning and refining an imperfect, incomplete and impermanent design.

Today there’s general consensus – and a lot of noise – about the need for change. Still, organizations are having a hard time with change. Most change initiatives fail. Sometimes it’s just a matter of lack of will to change. Sometimes organizations just don’t even understand why or what they have to change. Change is often believed to be magically reachable designing new processes on paper, possibly paying huge amounts of money to consultants. The talk will introduce the Kanban Method (not to be confused with the Kanban Tool) as an evolutionary approach to managing change and as a way to build a learning and adapting organization
