Strategy & Biz Day
About this Workshop
This workshop will address one of the shifts some design leaders are taking into becoming internal change agents, by adopting an innovation consultant mindset that focuses on facilitating a senior cross-function team through a strategic problem-solving process.
This immersive, hands-on workshop will explore how design leaders can transition from being creators of solutions to facilitators of strategic conversations. You’ll learn how to guide senior cross-functional teams in addressing organizational challenges, fostering alignment, and unlocking innovative outcomes. The session focuses on practical frameworks, facilitation techniques, and mindset shifts that empower design leaders to influence at the highest levels of their organizations.
Who is it for?
This workshop is ideal for mid-to-senior-level design leaders, UX managers, product designers, and innovation professionals who are looking to expand their influence beyond traditional design work. Whether you’re already facilitating strategic conversations or want to step into this role, this session will provide you with the tools and confidence to lead effectively.
