Berlin, 24 August 2015 – Today's innovations will carry the day if not only the product but the entire process of its creation is succinctly structured.
Digitisation has hugely boosted the significance of the design factor: Products, processes, communication, interaction and service – all of if benefits from sound structuring. Accordingly, the development of a design culture counts among the key tasks of any company.
