The RIGHT BRAINED ECONOMYDesigning from the Right Side of the Brain:
• The left brain is necessary but NOT sufficient
• Well captured by Daniel Pink’s “A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers will Rule the Future” Automation taking over most of the
left side roles and jobs The rising “Economy of Abundance”
putting a whole new emphasis on design and in particular on the appeal to the senses such as with “emotional design”

DESIGNis THE differentiator of the Future:
“ businesses are realizing that the only way to differentiate their goods and
services in today's overstocked, materially abundant marketplace is to
make their offerings transcendent, physically beautiful and emotionally
compelling."

Long Tail
•“The future of business is selling less of more.”
•The economics of abundance§Creative squandering§Don’t do one thing; do it all, Don’t store some; store it all; don’t sell one piece of content, sell it all
•Market of one is the biggest of all?
•The “getting small” of business:Combine enough non hits on the Long Tail and you've got a market bigger than the hits!
"The biggest money is in the smallest sales.“ Barnes & Noble carries 130,000 books More than half Amazon sales from OUTSIDE top 130,000
The market for books not sold in the bookstore is larger than those that are! Google makes most of its money from small advertisers eBay the same Children today will grow up never knowing the meaning of “out of print”
•Stuck in the physical world for our frame of reference
•Transform from mass markets to mass marketing
•Finding vs.. searchingCollaborative filtering, social recommender systems, pattern recognition

Future of Design and the people within:
• Project based
• Multi-discipline

• Holistic and heuristic
• Right brain dominated

The Future of Design & Work:
• Bad news: the future will be dominated by right brain female thinkers.
• Good news: this is all about the brain, not the body!
(applies equally to all of us)
• Anyone can (and needs to) develop an
“ambidextrous and transgender mind” Most (including women) needing to ADD “female brain” and “right
brain” skills and thinking.

Redefining Design examples:
• Functional design
• Emotional design
• Design of everyday things For a world of abundance
• “Do good” Design Green or “E” design SUSTAINABLE design
• Design of and for the “virtual world”, Moving beyond the design of “physical things” Movies, special effects Intelligent modeling Virtual world “products”
Eg need to design and “build” most everything in the “real world” in virtual worlds such as Second Life

Some skills of the Future:• Learning
+ UN learning + RE learning
• Design redefined
• Heuristics Finding solutions, solving problems through trial and error, learning from failures
• Story telling Narrative threads, multiple
• Synthesis Putting pieces together to create whole new combinations mashups
• Smart decision making• Finding (vs. searching)• Semantics (meaning)• Abstracting
Characterizing attributes Tagging (metadata), relationships, patterns
• Collaboration Contribution, articulation, listening

Thoughts for the Future:• Think UNIVERSAL and NOT NATIONAL when it comes
to the skills, knowledge and capabilities of the future.
• Develop execution strategies that adapt and adopt these
to leverage local, national and cultural contexts
• Shift towards RIGHT BRAIN dominance Left brain necessary but insufficient
• Check to see if you and/or your team are very busy
“perfecting the irrelevant” Requires that you know YOUR value proposition
