Sooshin Choi is the Provost and Vice President of the College for Creative Studies and Vice President of Education for IDSA. The document discusses the role of design in innovation and the future. It argues that we need more "seers and doers" who can envision new possibilities and make them reality. The future requires designers who are conceptors, conductors, and connectors - those who can envision visions, implement ideas, and connect different areas to create new value. A designer's role involves considering a project's soul, skeleton, and skin as well as using their brain, heart, and gut.
