Designing design

Seeking a sustainable digital transformation

Nowadays, reality is made of both physical and digital environments. The latter is where corporations find the greatest growth opportunity.

Most pre-digital age brands are still stuck into the Waterfall model: a workflow created to conceive, design and implement products for physical environments.

Everyone agrees that a completely new approach is unavoidable and most found inspiration in the Agile Manifesto, to try and shape new models. 

 

- What are the cornerstones of this change?

- Is a smooth change possible or disruption is the only way?

- Which individual competences are needed?

- How to deliver faster and better?

 

GEDI Editorial Group is in the midst of this radical transformation. Federico will share some lessons learned so far by his company.
