About the talk

Advancing design through inspirational & fearless leadership

- SFJAZZ Center

Advancing design and leading through change requires strong and inspirational leadership. Leaders need to be fearless in navigating the business and elevating the conversation in relation to design. This requires a leader who can speak the language of the business and can leverage design to solve organisational problems, not just design problems. It's about modeling and championing design inside and outside of the organisation, while making tough calls along the way, to elevate the design practice.
