THE DESIGNING CITIZEN
COSTLESS SWITCHING
THE DEMOCRATIC CORPORATION
DESIGN FOR CONVERSATIONS
CONVERSATIONS FOR DESIGN
This document [in it's original form, as a carefully-designed physical
handout] served as the outline of a seminar held in May 1992 that brought
together a group of outside presenters and executives from Du Pont. This
text and the accompanying videotape documenting the seminar itself represent
a snapshot of a long-term enquiry by Du Pont Fibers into questions about
the future of corporations. The seminar was designed and produced by PANGARO
Incorporated.
[The original design took advantage of the pleasures and grace of desktop
publishing; this Web version is a flat, linearized shadow of the original.]
