The new Morgenbooster program is now live! If you're interested in positive applications of AI, using nature in your design process, systems thinking, and more....you'll want to check this out! Morgenboosters are free, hour-long events held from 9 - 10 am at our Copenhagen office. We share knowledge and case studies, as well as dive into today's pressing digital issues with our empathetic and open-minded approach. Can't wait to see you there! https://lnkd.in/gJNtYkQ #morgenbooster #Copenhagen #copenhagenevents #strategicdesign #servicedesign #ethicaldesign #responsibledesign #digitaldesign

In our last Morgenbooster, we discussed the difference between complicated and complex. Why is that important? When talking about developing processes around post-growth and the wellbeing economy, we need to make sure we understand the status quo that we're dealing with in the first place. Does this differentiation make sense to you? How would you describe it? #morgenbooster #copenhagenevents #1508 #1508dk #postgrowth #degrowth #wellbeingeconomy #digitaldesign #strategicdesign #servicedesign #responsibledesign #ethicaldesign

1508 Case Study: PKA How do you make sure that people are engaged with their pension fund before they actually start drawing a pension? We created a learning loop for the Danish pension fund PKA in which the fund reaches out to customers during major life events to give information on how the life event may affect them and offering straightforward recommendations. This creates a sense of trust and level of care that carries through the customer’s lifetime with their pension fund. The key to this project is our build, measure, learn loop, which we tested and iterated through multiple phases, eventually resulting in a proven concept. In tandem, we created illustrations that reflected both PKA and our learnings. Looking to create something similar for your customers or audience? Get in touch, we’d love to help! #pka #pensionfund #strategicdesign #servicedesign #ethicaldesign #responsibledesign #digitaldesign

Our final Morgenbooster of the year, which took place last week, was a reflection on our work with post-growth and the wellbeing economy, as well as a sharing how we want to work with these concepts moving forward. ⁠ ⁠ But what are we talking about when we talk about the wellbeing economy? What about post-growth? And what's limited growth? Let's talk about it. What wording resonates with you, and why? ⁠ #morgenbooster #copenhagenevents #postgrowth #wellbeingecomony #servicedesign #strategicdesign #digitaldesign #responsibledesign #ethicaldesign #1508 #1508dk⁠ ⁠

“It was quite amazing to see how bringing phenomena from nature, representing the company’s core values, could lead us to beautiful and honest conversations. It allowed us talk about both their mission and vision statement in a more poetic way, which helped us both understand them better and to create a strong narrative afterwards” - Amanda, Client Lead For our work with Planetary Impact Ventures, an investment fund focused on reconnecting with nature, we asked stakeholders to bring a natural element that they felt had some connection to the brand, then explain it to the group. That was our starting point, and you can see how it ended up informing our work in creating a visual identity, core narrative, and more!

Our most recent course, "Designing for Inclusion - Accessibility in Digital Design," allowed our participants to really dive into what they think about accessible design and how to incorporate it in their own work. At the start of the course, we asked: what is the most important thing to remember when making accessible digital solutions? At the end of the course, we asked again! Here's what our participants said. We love to see the slight shift from conceptual to concrete thinking! What would you say is essential to keep in mind for accessible digital products? #1508 #strategicdesignagency #design #digitaldesign #ethicaldesign #responsibledesign #inclusivedesign #accessibledesign

How do we normalize critical thinking and sharing constructive criticism? At 1508, we're dedicated to addressing the root causes of the current global crises we're facing. In order to do this, we've created the Shift Cards to infuse criticism of the status quo as a design material in our projects. We shared these cards during our last Morgenbooster, and are excited to see how we can use them with our clients moving forward. Want to learn more about the Shift Cards? Contact our Business Development Director Mathias: mlh@1508.dk. #shiftcards #1508 #1508dk #Copenhagen #copenhagenagency #serviceagency #designagency #responsibledesign #ethicaldesign #systemsthinking #postgrowth #wellbeingeconomy

"We cannot solve problems with the same way of thinking that created them." What does that really mean? In order to solve problems, we must challenge our own thinking, the status quo, and create systemic change. Today was the last day of our 2024 Morgenbooster season, and it was only fitting that we ended the season the same way we started it: talking about post-growth and the wellbeing economy. So how was today different than the beginning of the year? We've spent the year reflecting, learning, and developing a process that we think will help not only us, but our clients and hopefully many others, create systemic change in a world where resource-usage outpaces regeneration. Big shout out to Mathias Larsen for the outstanding presentation, and thank you to everyone who joined us today. Stay tuned for our next Morgenbooster season, which we can't wait to introduce soon! #morgenbooster #Copenhagen #copenhagenevents #postgrowth #wellbeingeconomy #digitaldesign #designagency #servicedesign #servicedesignagency

Seeing feedback like this on our latest course, "Designing for Inclusion - Accessibility in Digital Design" really brings home why we do what we do, and why the focus on digital accessibility is so vital. Thank you for sharing, Elisabeth Ilsø Hougaard! Looking forward to seeing even more people at the next course....
