You are invited to the 2007 Design Excellence Dinner benefiting the ASU College of Design Dean’s Investment Fund, which supports student scholarships and college programs. Comprised of a dynamic grouping of disciplines—architecture, design studies, housing and urban development, industrial design, interior design, landscape architecture, planning, real estate development, and visual communication design—the College of Design is at the forefront of the global, regional, economic, and environmental design questions that are shaping the twenty-first century. The Design Excellence Dinner is one of ASU’s premier events and continues a tradition of bringing leading design, planning, and real estate experts to our community. Through engaging in this annual event, the college hopes to strengthen its relationship with our supporters, while providing additional resources for a quality design education to our students.

Innovation Expert Tom Kelley
Few people have Tom Kelley’s depth of experience managing innovation and design. Kelley is the General Manager of IDEO, ranked by global business leaders as one of the world’s most innovative companies. IDEO is the design and development firm that brought us the Apple mouse, Polaroid’s I- Zone instant camera, the Palm V, and hundreds of other cutting edge products. Kelley’s newest book, The Ten Faces of Innovation, reveals ten unique strategies for making sure that good ideas make it to the market. His previous book, The Art of Innovation, describes IDEO’s “deep dive” approach to successful product creation, focusing on brainstorming and teamwork as invaluable tools. IDEO uses design thinking to help clients innovate and grow by identifying new opportunities for growth, designing new products and services, and enabling organizations to transform and build the capabilities required to innovate routinely. One of IDEO’s most successful recent ideas is Bank of America’s “Keep the Change,” promotion where a debit card purchase amount is rounded up to the nearest dollar and the difference automatically deposited in the consumer’s savings accounts. Ninety-nine percent of its initial subscribers has chosen to keep the service—along with their change.
