Navigating executive shifts and building influence...
In today's ever-changing business environment, design leaders face the challenge of not just managing a team, but also effectively communicating a strategic vision and aligning it with broader organisational goals. This is particularly crucial at an executive level when product leadership is merged with another role or lost altogether, thereby losing sponsorship for product/design at the executive level.
Venessa will share her learnings on how to build influence beyond the product team, offer tips on how to elevate your communication skills and drive strategic alignment within your organisation. This session will equip you with valuable strategies to amplify your design team's influence and impact.
