Michal Blažej: Potent customer insights that drive business


Michal Blažej, Managing Director of Lighting Beetle*, shares his experience in designing services that make life easier for millions of people. The principles are all well known – the process must be co-creative, user-centric, holistic. But there is one principle, not much talked about, which makes an idea potent. Learn why not all insights are created equal, and how to get to those that have the potential to redefine the relationship between your brand and the customer.

‌Anton Schubert: The Shift from Product to Service


Anton Schubert, Innovation Lead at EY Doberman, will take us on a journey from the birth of Service Design in the 90’s to the present era. He will touch on the impact of digitalization and the effects of a new generation of customers who have moved away from the concept of ownership to sharing and subscription.
