Use Cases in Design Thinking & Interactive Think Tanks | Thursday, July 21
1:00 PM Think Tank 1 | From Practitioner to Executive: Bridge the Gap to Strengthen Strategic Alignment
While your organization may be well-established and value collaborative efforts, the design function oftentimes is not as involved or integrated as they should be and may be playing "catch up" from time to time. How might we combat this and truly build a bridge between executive leadership strategy down to the individual contributor level on your team? When strategic alignment is not strong or championed directly, clearly visualizing where yourself and your team fit into the giant cog of the enterprise becomes difficult. Join Calvin as he unearths the importance around building concrete vision and alignment and tying individual contribution to organizational impact.
