Thomas Pickens Solo | Intermediate | Science + Space Exploration | #spacemeds 11:00 AM Ballroom A Why Designers Should Care About Measuring Success "How do you know this design is better?" This question stumbles even the most seasoned designers. As designers are moving up the corporate ranks, our decisions are carrying more weight and inherently more risk to companies. This presentation will explore questions and methods that designers can use to create better alignment with business metrics and have more courage to push creative boundaries. Alfred Lui Solo | Intermediate | Design + Development | #designms 11:00 AM Ballroom BC Work Sucks, but Your RFP Doesn't Have To Using RFPs to select vendors makes as much sense as shopping for a car blindfolded. Proposals only tell you how good a vendor is at writing proposals. Let���s develop an approach that treats developers and designers like creative professionals.

Jane Pratt Featured Session | Intermediate | Culture + Entertainment | #PubSecrets 12:30 PM Ballroom A Google[x]: Building a Moonshot Factory Google[x] is a moonshot factory, run by Peter Pans with PhDs and focused on changing the world by seeking out massive unsolved problems that - when solved - will profoundly and positively alter the way we live.

Astro Teller Solo | Advanced | Design + Development | #moonshots 12:30 PM Ballroom BC Fools Fear Failure: Designing Better Ways to Fail It's well known that failure is sticky; people learn better from stories of failure than they do from success stories. Yet, in the social sector, failure is rarely discussed. This panel asks: how might we use our skills as designers to create a new mindset in the social sector that says "I failed and here's the story of how it happened"?
