3 Common Discussion The paradigm shift: A cultural approach to communication and innovation Are our western markets shifting from the material to the immaterial? What are the limits of classical marketing approaches today? Why can t trend research generate competitive advantages anymore? Why is always new the enemy of creativity and innovation? Which are the most relevant socio-cultural shifts in today s societies? Why does the logic behind market targets appear obsolete today? If Design has done its time, can we assume that Art can replace it? Can Art become a commodity? How can Art be a medium that can help to identify new ways of life? Is there reason to believe that creativity is shifting from being an individual talent to a collective process? How does connectivity enhance the process of collective creativity? What is or should be the role of advertising and communication today? The new paradigm: Commodifying time and sense Why is it more profitable today to sell time and sense than just material goods? Why have ways of life become more relevant than life-styles? Could value for sense be the next challenge faced by marketing on the heels of value for money and value for time? What instruments could be used today to capture and understand people s real needs? What does innovation in immaterial markets mean? How could Design become a powerful instrument of innovation? How can one activate and make use of the connected intelligence? What do we mean today by good communication?
