    With the arrival of success one's diary becomes increasingly full: how can one succeed in being at the right places at the right time and, where possible, at the same time? What are the stations and situations that should not be missed and when is it high time to withdraw in order to create something new? On the designer's balancing act between the public realm and studio work.
  Life is not a race ­ time to look back: what are the essential tools for a designer, what are the milestones and how do I reflect my own Oevre? In contrary how does a design critic read an artistic carreer, the personality
of designers and how to get all this packed between the covers of a catalogue raisonée?
  The media and their role in the perception of design. Can stars and trends be created and whom does this help? How important is the media suitability of the person standing behind the object? Does media hype encourage young talents or burn them up?

    Gut Ding braucht Weile (quality takes time) (ger.)   Children of their times (en.)   Dreamteam (en.)
    The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Does the framework of design training allow enough time for this? How fast do things have to get done to satisfy the market, how much time is needed to develop the artistic personality? A comparison of three different training concepts.
  What influences careers? What motivates, what moves things forward? Surpassing role models? Social resistance? Cultural background? Ecology? Economy? Strategies from the 1980s to the present day.
  Entrepreneur seeks designer: does the designer create the brand or the brand the designer? On the psychology of selecting a designer, on the far-sightedness of collaboration and the advantages of different ways of seeing and working.

    To each time its design, to design its freedom (en.)   No time to think (en.)   Alles zu seiner Zeit (there's a right time for everything) (ger.)
    Looking at the world of things and its surroundings provides information about users and their society. But it is also a pool and source of information for the urgently necessary or unnecessary. Whether researching retrospectively or in the future, examining material everyday culture offers starting points for the future.
  Design has neither the glamour factor of fine art and architecture, nor is it seen as an intellectual discipline. Why is this? Who still wants to conduct the functionalism vs. aesthetics debate? Are the design discourse and the design product less relevant than their equivalents in the worlds of art and architecture?
  Going, going, gone: design as an investment, design auctions as a career tool or the death of a career? When is the right moment for purchasers and collectors, and when should designers put up their work for auction?

    Sign of the times (en.)   Criticism and popular success (en.)   Time is Money (en.)
    What will the design circus of tomorrow deal with? Will it be the superficialities of a new or an old form or instead the themes that move the world? The product and the discussion of the present and the future manifest themselves somewhere between the hustle and bustle of the fair, the festival mood and conference think tanks.
  What are blockbuster exhibitions in the area of design and where do their boundaries lie? Critical and surprising enough for a specialist public and yet understandable and attractive to the broad mass of visitors: must design museums and exhibitions achieve both of these and how do New York and London succeed in doing this?
  A product palette in six months or a single object in six years?
How much development time is economically justifiable, when is speed meaningful, where does time spent on testing and thinking achieve better results?
