Day 1 | Monday, April 10
5:30 PM BENCHMARKING SESSION | From Expendable to Essential Design: Building for Durability and Legitimacy
Though seen as helpful most of the time, many in-house design functions feel helpless during times of organizational transition, stress, and crisis. They get caught up on the “wrong side” of messy restructuring. They are seen as cost centers or places of “innovation theater.” They often lack mandates and clear expected outcomes. In short, they get stuck in the narrative of being expendable not essential. This talk presents some learnings and working hypotheses—drawn from theory, research, and practical experience—to make design a systems “must-have” in organizations.
