Master of Business Innovation Program, CEDIM
August 2010
Patrick has been appointed as a visiting lecturer on the Master of Business Innovation (MBI) program at CEDIM in Monterrey, Mexico. He will be teaching a course in trends, branding and innovation from February to May 2011.
He said, “I am delighted to have been offered this position and had no hesitation in accepting. CEDIM is establishing itself as Latin America’s top business university and attracting high calibre students from throughout the continent.”
The appointment follows Patrick’s successful visit to Monterrey last year when an audience of 2000 people attended his talk on the Four Pleasures.
Seminar at UCL
August 2010
It has been confirmed that Patrick will give a guest seminar on the Human-Computer Interaction and Ergonomics Master's at University College London during the next academic year.
A date for the lecture hasn’t been finalised, but it is likely to be in the second semester of the next academic year.
Patrick said, “I am very pleased to have been invited back to UCL. The college offers one of the best user-centred design courses in the world and I find it very rewarding to be involved with it.”
The topic of Patrick’s seminar will be Design and Emotion.
Quality of Life Documentary
August 2010
Patrick has been commissioned to make a radio documentary about quality of life, which he will record this month. The show will explore what it means to have a good quality of life and the role that the public and private sector can have in facilitating this.
He said, “Quality of life has become a hot issue lately as academics, think-tanks and politicians are realising that the wellbeing of a nation cannot be determined purely by its wealth. For those of us working in the areas of design and marketing we need to explore more fully how our work can help to improve people’s lives.”
Patrick recently completed a study identifying nine different dimensions of quality of life, which is to be published by the International Society for Quality of Life Studies. You can download a free copy here.
The broadcast date for the show has not yet been scheduled. We will post details here as soon as we have them.
