Speaker: Zoe Robson (MSc Design and Enterprise, 2010), Digital and Innovation Lead UK and Europe at Architas

broken into four simple steps: identification; insight; ideation; and impact. Understand these, follow them rigorously, apply them to every challenge and see your ideas take revolutionary steps forward.
