Event Details

ABOUT UNFINISHED BUSINESS

The Unfinished Lecture is a monthly event hosted by the Strategic Innovation Lab at OCAD and sponsored by Torch Partnership. Part of the Unfinished Business initiative, the lectures are intended to generate an open conversation about strategic innovation in the business and design of commercial enterprises and public organizations.

From Artifact to Transformation

Our world becomes increasingly more interconnected and the frequency of change continues to accelerate. What roles can designers play in this evolving cultural context? How can we shift the perspective of our craft and practice to make broad and meaningful impact with our work?

In this talk, Henry will explore the different trajectories of design, design thinking, and the interface between design and other professions.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Henry Hong-Yiu Cheung

Currently jamming with like-minded colleagues in his role as Practice Lead for Systems at Scale at IDEO’s Chicago office, Henry is a designer by practice and an adventurer at heart. His core proficiency is in using design thinking to map out unseen opportunities and emerging trends in order to develop the desired outcomes.

Henry believes the richness of solutions evolves from a combination of an honest and open collaborative process and rigorous execution.

Always the curious collaborator in search of challenging ways of thinking, Henry has worked with Bruce Mau Design, Office for Metropolitan Architecture, and Microsoft Corp.

Torch Partnership & sLab

Torch Partnership

At Torch we think differently about the purpose and value of design. By treating business problems as problems of design we are able to develop a richer point of view on the problem itself. This creates a deeper understanding of the problem's dynamics, and leads to a diversity of unique insights to the problem, its causes and its effects. Our greatest ambition as designers is to improve the businesses we serve. We focus our attention on creating alignment between your organization's strategy and it's design for creating value: from structure to processes, communications and core capabilities.

Strategic Innovation Lab

Strategic Innovation Lab (sLab) is a centre for research and innovation affiliated with the Faculty of Design at the Ontario College of Art & Design (OCAD) sLab operates on a model that integrates academic research, professional services, curriculum and skills development for stakeholders in the private, public, and not-for-profit sectors. sLab is a growing community of researchers and practitioners, design and business professionals, teachers and students, who are passionate about envisioning possible futures.
