Beyond changing interfaces, human-centered design can influence big decisions. In this talk, I'll share how you can increase your influence and hone your strategic leadership skills by focusing on the four ways human-centered design can impact your organization—product/service design and delivery, hiring talented designers and technologists, training and strengthening interdisciplinary teams, and human-centered policymaking and business modeling. Additionally, you will learn the top three skills you will most need to develop in order to truly make an impact in your organization.

Learn how to increase your influence in your organization across four areas:
-product/service design and delivery
-recruiting and hiring
-training and strengthening interdisciplinary teams
-human-centered policymaking and business modeling
