We have to, as designers, keep periodically asking this question - what can we do for society? Obviously the challenges that society faces, while designers face them too in their everyday, are not something designers are normally called upon to address. These strategic challenges are of a higher order of complexity and essentially of a different nature. Yet, it is clear to many that there is intrinsic in their nature, a call for approaches that design offers in other domains. Design cannot however take on the burden of addressing these challenge by themselves - that would be an inappropriate hubris on the part of design. The complexities demand inter- and trans disciplinary work, something traditional design is yet to come to grips with - but it could in principle lead these conceptual transformations effectively, if it made the necessary transitions in its own practices. It is also for society itself to recognize this strategic potential and transform design practices and associated ecosystems to serve its purpose.

What a night at Our Second Annual SuperCrue Executive Dinner in Fort Worth! Last night was not just an event; it was a celebration of community, knowledge, and growth within the E&P community. With a room packed to the brim, we had the privilege of hosting 20 top-tier energy professionals, including 14 E&P Operators and 3 OFS representatives. The powerhouse of intellect and experience at the table was nothing short of impressive and inspiring. As I sat back and observed the conversations, the dynamic exchanges of ideas, and the genuine connections being strengthened, I felt a profound sense of pride in what Crüe Club has become. What started as unstructured dinners has evolved into a thriving community, hosting events that not only connect but significantly elevate careers and personal growth in the E&P space. The discussions last night underscored a clear truth: there is a vital need for connection, for sharing knowledge and efficiencies, and for professional growth. Crue Club is passionately committed to meeting these needs through our exclusive events, knowledge-sharing forums, and growth workshops (powered by Exec Crüe). A heartfelt thank you to all our Crue Club Members and Sponsors who continue to support and believe in our vision. Your participation is what transforms our events into a powerful platform for change. Here’s to more nights like this, where we come together to shape the future of our industry. The impact of our collective efforts is truly inspiring, and I am eager to see where our journey takes us next. #Connections #CrueClub #EnergyProfessionals #NetworkingSuccess #ProfessionalGrowth

Client Events Are Dead (Unless You're Doing This) "Wine and cheese" seminars hitting diminishing returns? You're not alone.

Darts and a company event??? Yes, that's right – two words that, before Christmas, you probably wouldn't have used in the same sentence... We have had the privilege of adding fun and value to so may work events or parties, or even having our inspiring players speak at seminars, sharing insights into their journeys, growth, mindset, and attitude. Our players have truly remarkable stories and growth journeys to inspire. Or maybe you want a fun team-building exercise where everyone has the opportunity to play against a world champion? You don't have to like darts, but I can guarantee everyone will want to have a go at chucking a few darts against a professional to beat that annoying work colleague's score! Our professional MCs and event staff will run it all, so you can get involved and enjoy!!
