About the talk
The evolution of the design leader
Increasingly, successful leaders are evolving from traditional managers to become catalysts for innovation - facilitating environments where employees can truly thrive and creating the connection between positive leadership behaviours and business outcomes.
Tey will delve into the transformative forces reshaping design leadership in our rapidly changing world. Drawing on years of extensive cross-organisational research and interviews with global design leaders, he’ll invite you to explore how the advent of generative AI, shifting workforce dynamics, and post-pandemic realities are redefining what it means to lead effectively in design and beyond.
Grounded in data-driven insights yet with a deeply human approach, Tey will offer actionable strategies for leaders looking to navigate this new landscape that will define the next generation of impactful design leaders.
