Raymond to Address International DMI Conference, London, September 2010
23 August 10
DMI's Transforming Design conference is taking place in London on September 7th and 8th of this year. The conference will explore the connections and transformational capabilities of design management and Raymond will be among its featured speakers drawn from industry experts. Raymond's paper, 'Transformational Synergy: Aligning design pushers and pullers', looks at the tension implicit in two aspects of "transforming design" and the misalignment between two disparate groups, which he defines as Design Pushers and Design Pullers. Raymond will argue that for the full potential of design to be realised, a transformational synergy must be created between these two groups. To do this, both groups have to change how they work and Raymond will provide some insights into the nature of those changes. It is only when this happens that we can expect design to maximise wealth creation for business, create fully effective public services and totally inclusive social environments.
We extend our best wishes to Raymond for the day.

Minister for Communications Eamon Ryan yesterday unveiled a €5 million investment for Intune Network's Exemplar network. The key feature of the network is its incredible speed which enables large amounts of data to be transferred at extremely fast speeds, curing congestion problems that international giants like AT&T have been trying to battle for years. “This is a breakthrough moment for Ireland,” said Minister Ryan. “The future of the internet is here and it’s being developed in Ireland.” Image Now has been working closely with Intune Networks on this project and its launch.
