Firm Owners Virtual Community Meet-up: AI, leadership and design practice
Virtual Tuesday October 13 @ 5:30 PM ETJoin us for another gathering of our group to meet, learn and talk about our ever-evolving design practice.
Tim Haats, Assistant Professor at Carleton University and DIAC Board Director, joins us to discuss his research paper, "AI as an Accelerator of Design's Professional Identity Transition." His research shows that AI is not just a simple tool, but a systemic disruptor that is speeding up the shift from production-centred design work toward leadership-oriented responsibilities.
Join us to explore:
- The transformation of design processes: How AI is changing established workflows, methods and approaches to creative production.
- The reconfiguring of designer roles: How evolving technologies may shift designers' responsibilities and their contribution within firms and client organizations.
- Capability gaps and organizational readiness: What AI adoption may mean for the skills, structures, culture and capabilities design firms need.
- The reframing of design value: How automation of design production may challenge perceptions of design value, and where firms can create differentiation in the future.
