Innovation and Design: what will be the jobs of the future

In an age where the digitization of work is expanding exponentially, design specialists are also evolving towards paths not yet traveled.

The word Design born in the context of design of objects for industrial production purposes. The figure of the designer in this way he began to be characterized, in his common sense, of quality as a creative inspiration outside the box, a highly personalized style, eccentricity, perhaps losing the characteristics of a highly operative worker.

To change the use (and sometimes abuse) of the term we are thinking about the changing times. Suzanne Labarre di Fast Company recently interviewed company specialists such as Google e Microsoft, asking them what the most important design jobs of the future will be, and they got answers that open a window on technological progress , targeted specialization that these people will be required.

It goes from the designer to avatar, dynamic and interactive representations of real people in virtual reality, to that of drone experiences, which will have to make the experience of using a drone ever closer to everyday reality. The services of Concierge services will increasingly be based on customization on the customer, literally "designed" on the guests, and it is not certain that such guests will not be artificially replicated first by a Sim designer in order to test the quality of the offers on them.

Augmented reality e 3d graphics they will no longer be the prerogative of video games and cinema, but will be implemented in sectors such as education and health, to allow operators a better job without risks.

And speaking of surgeons and doctors, they will soon be able to avail themselves of the collaboration of a designer of artificial organs, for increasingly advanced interventions.

also the companies will benefit from these figures: the so-called interventional they will be called upon to facilitate creative communication, build space for new ideas, insert diplomacy into innovation processes. THE Conductorsthen they will make sure that every new discovery and new tool is potentially compatible with the others already present.

Special mention for drivers of Uber, the private automobile transport service that has already extensively redesigned the avant-garde concept of sharing economy. Confirming that the future of design is not at the door: it has already arrived.
