Digital evolution designer Mika Ilari Koskinen stated in his interview that the new experts of the design field (and service design) are coming from all educational backgrounds in the future, not just a few like it was before, but they all go to work into the expanding creative industry (design + applied arts) and experience industry. He was able to locate the following six specific expertise needs of the design field in the future:
Today organization’s greatest strengths and the key to its success are the quality and commitment of the staff and managers. Competences are critical success factors.
