This week promises to be a hectic one. Apart from our distinguished prof, Chuck Owens being in New Zealand while our systems class races forward to complete “function structures,” make sure that our “defining statements” are right, and we’re on track to come up with a plan to reform health care. Okay, if you don’t understand this ID structured planning jargon, I apologize.
But, this is easy to understand. This week brings the much awaited Design Research Conference (formerly About, With & For) to Chicago. The venue this year is the Museum of Contemporary Art, the same place that the Strategy Conference was held in the spring.
The speakers lineup is stellar this year, I can hardly wait for the end of the week!
