Tent Talks Session: Key Business Concepts Design Leaders Need to Know

On Wednesday, March 8th 3:00pm CST, Christina Goldschmidtl joins us for a live Q&A session: “Key Business Concepts Design Leaders Need to Know.”

Leadership By Design 2023

The New Innovation Toolkit

With the magical promise of Design Thinking starting to lose its shine, as Design Leaders how are we to help our teams – and ourselves – solve problems, build products and get to real solutions?

Using data to prove that this is a trend sweeping society, this talk will detail practical methods for accessing the subconscious to help make decisions by looking at problems differently and alleviating anxiety and stress around decision making. The surprise twist is that these practices are traditionally considered mystical and not usually used in business: the tarot, breathwork and shamanic journeying.
