Wolfgang Klein is a seasoned global design consultant and researcher. He has worked for numerous Fortune 500 enterprises and lived in six countries. He has a knack for storytelling and complex services, and he enjoys designing ‘weird’ experiences in the fields of AI, virtual reality, and IoT. In his spare time, he produces craft brandies with his wife, performs musical cabaret, and gets delusional about authoring a fantasy trilogy for kids. 

Virtual reality is great! Especially in education. There are already lots of apps that allow kids to literally dive into a subject so they can engage and interact with it. But kids also want to create, not only consume. In this talk you will learn how making your own VR adds a “wow” to classrooms around the globe and how you can make use of it, together with your kids, at home.

This month’s global exploration of Genius is chosen by our Guadalajara chapter, illustrated by Claudio Limon, and presented by WordPress! Yes, you read that correctly.

Genius is a label, a shortcut that signifies the remarkable achievements and abilities of an individual. Thomas Edison famously quipped that genius was one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. But genius also hinges on the voices of the community, the support of the people.

If you unpack this centuries-old label, you might realize that the posture of a genius is already baked into your daily routines. Geniuses are exceptional at failing, learning from mistakes, and cross-pollinating insights from various domains. They’re working, not for money or fame, but because they’re compelled to pursue a particular craft or interest; they’re obsessed; they cannot look do anything else other than solve the problem, paint on that canvas, or breathe life into an idea.

Today, opportunities and resources to tame your talents and sharpen your skills abound. The real battle is less external and more internal—facing your fears, quieting your ego, enriching your mind, and dancing with failure. Perhaps Mozart got it right when he said, “Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.”

“July’s theme is equality, which is closely connected to the Internet of Things. You could say that Internet of Things makes people more equal – people having equal access to data and ideas. But is that completely true?
I’d like to challenge us to explore how IoT is or isn’t increasing equality and what each of us can do to further improve equality in the communities we live and work in.
Building things is what I love doing most, when I’m most creative, I’ll share some of my work process.”

Everyday there are thousand small deaths in daily work. In Meetings. In Briefings. In Mails. Ideas die. Emotions die. Pixels die. But how can we survive the downward spiral of design projects? How can we avoid a project to become a zombie? How can we reanimate design and make things survive? This talk will maybe try to give a first aid.

We imagine a world where we’re seen and heard, respected and valued, not for our appearance and privilege, but for our work and character. A world where anyone, anywhere, has equal access to opportunities and resources to become the person they dream about. The formula for equality is a work in progress, and this work is not done from the few with power but rather through the power of community.

Equality is harmony. Harmony isn’t achieved through one instrument; it’s a collaboration, a symphony of sounds that adds richness and texture to the bigger picture. The pursuit of equality is a long-term game, an unraveling of outdated processes that no longer serves the future we imagine or deserve.

This month’s global exploration of Equality is chosen by our Johannesburg chapter, illustrated by Katt Phatlane, and presented by… Adobe! Yes, you read that correctly.

We’re thrilled to announce that we’re partnering with Adobe to stretch our collective mission in connecting and empowering creative communities around the world.

Im Umgang mit den Herausforderungen der Digitalisierung kann Design eine entscheidendere Rolle einnehmen und seinen Wirkungsraum erweitern. Mit der Fähigkeit, Komplexität zu durchdringen, Kompetenzen zu vernetzen und Wechselwirkungen in größerem Zusammenhang aufzuzeigen, können Kreative als Mediator und Katalysator neue Möglichkeitsräume eröffnen und in Teamarbeit ausgestalten.

Unter diesen Vorzeichen möchte Designworks im Rahmen der CreativeMornings Session „Beyond“ Einblick in ein Service-Design Projekt im Bereich Digitalisierung und Wissensmanagement geben.
Dem Team geht es weniger darum die Ergebnisse vorzustellen, sondern die Herausforderungen, Erfolgsfaktoren zu reflektieren und mit den Gästen zu teilen.
