Inspiring exchange on creativity and innovation processes with designer Derek Friday (Finndustry, Boulder/Colorado)

On 8 May 2025, we welcomed Derek Friday, designer and founder of Finndustry (Boulder/Colorado) and lecturer at the University of Colorado Boulder. The international guest gave an exciting lecture on the topic of “Creativity and Innovation Processes” - a highlight for our doctoral students and the Master's students on the “Innovation Management” course.
The lecture took place as part of the cooperation with Professor Gordon Müller-Seitz, which arose during his research stay at the University of Colorado Boulder and in particular in the context of the “Design Methods” course.
The participants engaged in a lively discussion with our guest about creative work processes, interdisciplinary design and the role of design in innovation processes - an inspiring impulse for teaching and research alike.
Thank you, Derek, for your visit and the valuable insights!
