What’s after co-design?

Session Title

What’s after co-design?

Presenter

Franco Papeschi

Session Type: Discussion

Co-design, participatory design and co-creation are different ways of involving people into the design process. Sharing with them some of the tools of the trade. There are however other — more complex – approaches that are emerging: hack-days, coding marathons and dev camps are some example that focus on the technological aspect of service creation. Having taken part in (and organized) some of these, I’d like to extend and expand this model. The discussion will focus on what are the new elements that could be added to an even more open and modular design process.

Biography

I like to ask questions about different aspects of the world. In the past 10 years I’ve become more and more curious about how human beings interact with socio-technical systems. In other words, I’m a User Experience designer, whatever you may think it means (well, I do have a pretty clear idea, ask me more!). I am fascinated by how involving people can change design of services and products, and how a deep understanding of their attitudes, practices and behaviours is pivotal for inspiring innovation. if we meet up in Savannah or somewhere else, you may also want to ask me something about capoeira, or maybe about improvisational theatre. And also something about my passion for the slow food movement.
