At the Design Management Institute’s Academic Conference in Paris this april I will be presenting a paper on Brand Driven Innovation, co-authored by Christa van Gessel. It includes our latest insights gained from research and projects at Zilver. It builds on my 2005 dissertation, but goes much further in the specifics of BDI, including its scope, a refined methodology and a case study. Download it here and let me know what you think!

    insightful! You made a giant leap into concreteness, well done! Many useful lumps of knowledge, directly applicable even in *our* field of brand interaction design.
