Last week Astro’s Brand Creative Director, Robin Marich and Cooper Perkin’s Director of Business Development, Lisa Somogyi, had the privilege to provide an intimate skill workshop for leading innovative executives in R&D, strategy, emerging tech, and new product development. The interactive workshop allowed participants to play out roles required when making decisions within a design matrix exercise. The goal was to show how working together and coming to a consensus based off a specific set of criteria can ultimately change the outcome of a product and improve the overall opportunity of a concept.
