ABOUT UNFINISHED BUSINESS

The Unfinished Lecture is a monthly event hosted by the Strategic Innovation Lab at OCAD and sponsored by Torch Partnership. Part of the Unfinished Business initiative, the lectures are intended to generate an open conversation about strategic innovation in the business and design of commercial enterprises and public organizations.

How to Incubate the Future of Design Education and Change the World at the Same Time

Get an inside look and meet some of the key people and projects that have shaped the success of the Pratt Design Incubator for Sustainable Innovation. Both a platform to launch a “green” business and a design consultancy for world projects the incubator offers a unique way to use the power of networks, collaboration and community to get things done. Deb will share the story of “Solar Ivy, “ currently on display at the MOMA in NYC, the recent project for the Sustainable South Bronx Greenway project and our latest Design Jam that brought 40 designers, HIV experts and media artists together for the UNESCO “Cultural Logic” project.
