Developing Leaders for Innovation is the name of a new minisite of the Chicago-based Institute of Design, with many examples of their work.

The site is particularly interesting because it describes some user experience design tools and processes, such as user observation, early prototyping, behavioural prototyping and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Also of note is IIT’s upcoming Design Strategy conference (featured, as all events, in our shared experience design calendar), and the website with the proceedings of the 2005 Design Strategy conference.
