The Future Needs New Eyes

Somewhere between the rush for efficiency and the race for innovation, we forgot to see. The kind of seeing that reveals the systems we ignore, the emotions we dismiss, and the dignity we forgot to design for. Most failed designs, too, fail in the same way. They optimize for the visible and ignore the invisible. We see what we expect to see, and in doing so, we leave out the entire group, experiences, and possibilities. Perception isn’t a soft science. It is the unseen force behind leadership, creativity, trust, healing, and recovery. Understanding it will help design healthcare that actually feels like care, and everyone does not feel like an invoice. The best design solutions of the future won’t come from AI. They’ll come from those trained to see beyond the obvious. Let me show you how.

Key Takeaways:

  • Drawing from cognitive psychology and neuroscience, attendees will learn how to expand their perception beyond default assumptions.

  • Learn why perception is a design problem and why seeing differently is the key to innovation.

  • Attendees will leave with new ideas and a new lens for viewing the world.
