Experiences of a Strategic Design Firm / Mikal Hallstrup (EDGE 2015)

In this age of radical change, old industries are finding themselves turned upside down. Classic design strategies and design management are falling short. We need to radically rethink the classic role of design and give way to a new mindset where strategy merges with creativity to better address the real challenges we face.

In this presentation Mikal Hallstrup, Chief Visionary Officer at Designit, will speak about how his company managed to scale its unique strategic and creative culture across 9 global offices and 300+ designers, strategists, and technologists.
