Centre for Entrepreneurship (C4E) of the University of Cyprus and Berklee Institute for Creative Entrepreneurship (ICE) present the:
Why are some designs better than others, and what can you do about it? (The Talk)
If you've ever described a poster as heavy, a website as dense, an app as clumsy or an object as whimsical, you probably already know the answer. Recent psychology research is showing that experiential metaphors are key emotional drivers that impact our perception of the world. Applying these findings to design confirms what designers have learned throughout their careers—good design is subconscious first and rational second. Michael will share stories from this research and the IDEO portfolio then share tools to help you be more consciously subconscious.
IDEO at Creative Mornings Boston: A Science of Creativity presented by Michae...Michael Hendrix
Since René Decartes suggested we were only "minds" in the 1600's we've struggled with over-rationalizing everything. This has created a divide between what is rational and irrational, and has made intuition suspect. An emerging school of psychology is now clearly debunking this misperception, showing that we understand the world viscerally—with our five senses first—and our rational mind second. This is great news for designers because, ironically, it's rational evidence that intuition is a powerful and legitimate design approach. This truth has been primarily discovered through metaphors. Quips like, “that’s over my head”, “her looks could kill” or “he’s cold-hearted” reveal deep connections between our physical senses and our emotional experiences. Designers regularly use this language to talk about their work, but it is only recently that we’ve discovered these aren’t subjective descriptions about what we make. They are deep seated human truths, actionable principles.

Understanding failure in early stage startupsAlice Bentinck
Failure are startups are often talked about in the same breath. This talks looks at the mindset behind failure and how failure happens in early stage startups
A brief introduction to the idea of Pharmaceutical companies embracing patient service as a competitive strategy. Today companies invest in molecules with little thought given to the care of patients. But services for patient care (and other stakeholders) can actually create business efficiencies and patient loyalty. Let's get inspired by great consumer experiences and imagine how we might make the Pharma experience more caring and effective.
Why are the best technologists aspiring to the same career path as their parents?
Find out why now is the best time to start a startup for the most ambitious technical people.
EF helps technologists build their own startups - we select individuals based on talent, rather than on a team or an idea.
