“Designers are by nature more inquisitive, more connected. They dig a little deeper in terms of insights. They turn those insights into innovation. That connection to the consumer is absolutely critical in driving innovation. It’s critical that design isn’t subjugated to the back room as a short order cook for marketing or for merchandising or sales. It has to be up front.” LittlesOrderTurnsTermRoomsFrontsDesignConnectionsInnovationMarketingDeeperInsightConnectedCriticalDrivingConsumersCooksDesignerInquisitiveMerchandising Author:Mark Parker
“On Nov. 6, the day before my 94th birthday, our nation will hold one of the most critical elections in my lifetime. We are at a crossroads and there are profound moral issues at stake.

“New York is where it is going to begin, I think. You can see it coming. The insect experts have learned how it works with locusts. Until locust population reaches a certain density, they all act like any grasshoppers. When the critical point is reached, they turn savage and swarm, and try to eat the world. We're nearing a critical point. One day soon two strangers will bump into each other at high noon in the middle of New York. But this time they won't snarl and go on. They will stop and stare and then leap at each others” ThinkingWorldTryingTwoCertainTurnsMiddleNew YorkGoes OnOne DayPopulationStrangerCriticalStaringExpertsLeapSavagesInsectsNoonBumpsDensitySwarmsGrasshoppers Author:John D.
