McKinsey study: If you're in the top quartile of design for pretty much any industry, there's a measure of outperformance. But if you're in even the,. there's no difference between the secondquartile and the bottom quartile. Why do you think design carries that kind of asymmetric return for those companies where only the top winners are rewarded? Because you need to do it right... You can't invest in design and be like, "Well, I can't change the company from night to day"
Great design can reward a company’s shareholders, but “good enough” doesn’t do much. Mauro Porcini is the Chief Design Officer of PepsiCo and the author of “The Human Side of Innovation: The Power of People in Love with People.” Ricky Mulvey caught up with Porcini to discuss:
- Why investors should watch companies with great design thinkers
- The strategy behind limited-edition releases
- How wearables could change what we eat and drink
