During the month of April, the IED team will travel to Colombia together with Oscar Anibal Pozuelos, strategic designer specialized in innovation and Alumnus of IED Milan and IED Madrid.

During his visit, Oscar Anibal Pozuelos will give a series of workshops and conferences with our allies in Colombia.

Likewise, he will give the Conference “How to innovate without dying trying”. Surviving a world in permanent evolution.

Designing products and services that add value to users does not seem obvious at first. Therefore, innovation, research and user experience are essential. This is where Design Thinking as a methodology comes into play. It gives us tools to know the true needs of people and allows us to adapt our products and services to provide real value.
Innovation and design are success factors for new projects and companies. In a changing world we need to adapt, and creativity is our best tool.

During this talk we will address:

  • The process of designing and the importance of creativity.
  • Project knowing the needs of people to add value and succeed in undertaking.
  • Innovation processes through Design Thinking and design to remain competitive.

Pozuelos has extensive experience in the Creative Industries sector and focuses on leading projects that promote economic and social development through creativity, design, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
