Design Leadership
What if you could benefit from the expertise of your peers and find new ways to handle your challenges? While at the same time being a part of a bigger network of design leaders?
The aim of the design groups is to empower your work and your projects by providing you with thought-provoking inspiration, insights and new tools.
But also giving you the opportunity to seek advice from your peers and guest experts on your projects and day to day work; so you can steer clear of mistakes that other design leaders have already made.
After each meeting, you receive meeting notes. You also get access to an online forum for members to continue the conversations in between the meetings. There are expert guest speakers at most meetings to provide further input to the group. Guest speakers could be relevant customer cases, analysts or experts.
