hello,
welcome to my website.
in these pages you can find articles I have written about design,
innovation, technology and my maserati. you can see some of the things I have helped create, and get in contact with me.
update: 8 february 2010
my website is being redesigned with new content on it's way. In the meantime follow me on twitter at www.twitter.com/clivegrinyer
I have just returned from two weeks in the US in California and Washington DC. I was given a slot at the Cisco IBSG Public
Sector workshop on the topic of design and it's relevance to public services and I've just added a blog about the
experience and my subsequent resolution to write up each chapter on my new web site which will be launching in late February.
'm very excited to be chairing the Design Management Institute (DMI) European Conference 21-22 April along
with Oliver King of Engine. After considering several possible titles around design thinking, we settled for "Transforming
Design". The conference will be both a level set of design's capabilities to apply it's processes and tools to
both business strategy and social issues and a challenge and roadmap for the skills and tools needed to tackle future challenges.
I am excited to be part of such a timely and important discussion point and for it to be happening in Europe.

I spoke in Leeds last year at a Ted-X
event on the subject of the democratisation of design and have added the presentation to the site - it's work in progress
but I think the role of design is changing rapidly in a way that requires different behaviour from designers and a better
understanding of the underlying value of design thinking.my private
time is now dominated by my band which came together in May www.thecameos.co.uk but I will try and remain focused on design and customer
experience....
You can see the talk I gave in Oslo at the Norwegian
design Council's conference on Inclusive Design last year, the day before I started Cisco, and is a very complete
version of Lipstick on a Pig, if you want to see the full thing.
the short
, pecha kutcha, version of Lipstick on a Pig can be found at:
one thing I do agree with Prince Philip on is the usability of technology
and the products that we use to interface with it. everyday I still find examples of where great technology is poorly
designed and remains inaccessible and unfriendly, severely limiting access and success. as I keep saying: we
still live in a world that is incredibly poorly "designed" and I am just amazed that people haven't stormed
the citadel of archaic technology development and demanded better.
