Cheryl Platz, author of "Design Beyond Devices" and "The Game Development Strategy Guide," stands in front of a slide "Gates Foundation: Results and Impact" with a chart shown onstage during her keynote "Future Sight in Design" at Design Matters Tokyo 2025.

A slide from the Future Sight in Design talk, with Ideaplatz branding, with a photo of Nostradamus that reads "Why does it seem like some designers can predict the future? The Apples of the world - how can they release products time and time again and get it right? And if you can see the future, how can you convince others you're right?"

A slide from Cheryl Platz's Future Sight in Design keynote, which shows a picture of a Gates Foundation "Teams Meetings are here!" internal poster and the text "I convinced the Gates Foundation to upgrade their global teleconferencing systems and service design... which launched fully just 2 weeks before the COVID-19 closures."

The cover slide for Cheryl Platz's "Future Sight in Design" keynote talk at Design Matters Tokyo 2025.

Hey #DesignMattersTokyo! Thank you for the warm welcome and the honor of sharing my Future Sight talk. I have about a dozen bookplate stickers left to sign for people who have or want to pre-order my book - please see me after the last talk to claim one!

My favourite recurring theme this #DesignMattersTokyo has really been the design leadership insights people have been sharing

Even with all the talk of AI changing design, the big challenge in good design is the systems and collaborations we facilitate. And that’s entirely human
