BIMA x bp Panel Discussion & Social | Reimagining energy through design

What’s it about?

Reimagining energy is a powerful ambition and one that’s been embraced by the human experience design team at bp. As designers, they are uniquely positioned to help bp achieve this goal, since customers are the driving force for energy products and services of the future.

So, how can design improve customer experiences and help to reimagine energy?

You start by remembering that there are real people with real needs at the other end of all the digital solutions, apps and websites that we are creating. By taking a customer-centric approach, bp can ensure that the digital solutions they design are relevant for people in this greener, more digital age. And, by designing their solutions through a sustainability lens, they can look to the future while also minimising the carbon footprint of our digital activities.

Come along to network, eat, drink and meet design leaders at bp to hear more about designing for the future, opportunities and their experiences working for a global energy company.

Join BIMA at bp’s Innovation Hub at their Douglas House office in central London for this informal yet insightful discussion followed by a social event.

We look forward to seeing you there!
