Episode 27: Design Thinking - A Strategy For Innovation
______________________________________________________________

Design Thinking; a buzz word which makes most people roll their eyes.  However, despite being overused, it has brought value and a new way of thinking to product development.

Infor's in-house design agency Hook & Loop hosted the Rumjog team for their monthly meetup event (https://www.meetup.com/The-RUMJog-Digital-Disruption-Series/) to discuss design thinking as a strategy for innovation.  Hook & Loop's very own Nunzio Esposito (VP & Head of User Experience) joined Tom Young (Managing Partner, Rumjog) for the conversation.

At the live event, Nunzio & Tom cover some of the following questions in relation to design thinking at Infor and Hook & Loop:

- Why did Nunzio change the design model to be more Engineer focused?
- What are the challenges that come with running a design-agency within a multi-billion dollar Enterprise Software company?
- What qualities does Nunzio look for when hiring people for Hook & Loop?
- What are some problems that you and your team are using design thinking to solve?
- How important is experiential empathy in creating user experiences?
- In today's technology-driven world, are the best designer's those that also understand engineering?

Episode 27: Design Thinking - A Strategy For Innovation

Americans are retiring at an increasing pace. Recent research from Deutsche Bank estimates the number of Americans retiring daily has nearly doubled since the year 2000.

Currently, roughly 10,000 people turn 65 each day, the standard age for retirement, and according to Census forecasts that number is set to rise. It will reach nearly 12,000 people within the next 10 years. By 2030, according to the Census Bureau, all baby boomers will be older than 65.

But as life expectancy and quality of life at an older age increases, will the retirement experience be redesigned? What will the future of retirement look like from an experience perspective?

If technology could make visiting your grandmother remotely much easier, would you still do it?!
