Austin Women Innovating Through Design Thinking

How can we make our organizations more innovative, adaptable, and future-oriented? Human-centered design-led companies have cracked the code on change management and outperform competitors on the S&P by over 200%. They operate differently and take as religion the premise that innovation and profit are borne out of really "getting" human beings and their needs. But turning a conventional business into a design-led one is an uphill battle. Join four women leading human-centered design efforts to shape the future across four distinct industry sectors: education, healthcare, finance, & advertising. Get expert tips and learn how they counter common pushback on innovation initiatives and are influencing the future workplace to generate revenue while simultaneously improving people's lives.
