Making cross-disciplinarity real!
How do you bring design culture to life in complex organizational contexts – and move from the good intentions to real actions? Christian from Urgent.Agency will share concrete experiences and advice on how to direct innovation and strategy processes inspired by design thinking. At the heart of the talk is a conviction about the power of infusing methods from both the human sciences and the world of design – and applying a truly human centred workflow. The presentation will inspire attendees to present and discuss their experiences.
