The future of work & digital design It's been a business-busy February here at Bizcommunity. Today, we round out our #DesignMonth theme with an overview of the CCDI's design-thinking movement, which is fast spreading across the country. Fittingly, Danette Breitenbach talks to the 'king of innovation' Ken Varejes, about how design technology has realigned Out of Home (OOH) as we know it. He shares that it's now focused on the digital media space, with a heavy focus on gamification and social media interaction. Further proving that the digital future is now, the IAB Digital Summit & Bookmark Awards 2016 take place later this week. As part of our in-depth pre-event coverage, I spoke to this year's jury president and jury chairs to find out what goes into judging the best local digital work. If that's not enough, prepare for all things ' brand manager' related on Bizcommunity this March, and as an extra treat, today sees the launch of our ' Future of Work' special focus - there'll be lots of business inspiration as we move towards the end of the first quarter of 2016...
