What you'll learn
Why Design teams should have more influence in their orgs
We’ll dive into the short- and long-term benefits for designers & our companies when design teams are truly empowered.
What holds Design teams back from being more impactful?
Why don’t all Design teams have clout? We'll breakdown why non-designers might be unclear about Design’s value & impact.
Join with your team & learn to build influence together
Everyone—not just leaders—can build Design’s influence. Bring your colleagues to unlock meaningful design work together.
Why this topic matters
Designers can deliver more value that non-designers often realize. Consequently, many Design teams aren’t asked to deliver their full potential. If we try to do more, we may be met with confusion or skepticism. Today, Alex Schleifer—Airbnb’s former CDO—and host Ryan Scott will explore how Design teams can develop the influence to unlock more fulfilling design work & more impact for our companies.
