A The Work Department Case Study
Lear Corporation, a global leader in automotive technology, sought to honor its 100-year legacy while focusing on the future of mobility. The company partnered with The Work Department to design participatory engagements that would gather input from a wide range of stakeholders to help guide its innovation initiatives.
The Work Department designed and facilitated three interactive events for Lear: a hands-on voting activity at an anniversary celebration, a discussion at the Detroit Design Summit, and an exhibit at the Lear Innovation Center opening. These engagements successfully collected qualitative and quantitative insights from hundreds of employees, designers, and industry experts, providing Lear with a rich dataset and a clear case for future innovation.
