Is Empathy useful for business?

How can designers grow and build from the material supplied by the anthropologist? How do they transform his revelations about the usages in research and development levers? How does the ecosystem anthropologist-designer-business live? How can the empathy of the designer for the anthropologist feed an empathy between industries?
Christophe Rebours will address these issue at the round table of the 1st Design & Innovation Forum at the Biennale Internationale Design Saint-Etienne. The conference will question the challenges of empathy in the creation and design. It will be animated by Rémy Bourganel, Director, exploratory design research at DNA/Orange and professor at ENSAD, and will also gather Nicolas Nova, researcher at the Geneva University of Art and Design and consultant at the Near Future Laboratory (Genève), and Yann Mathias, creative director of  Method in London.
