Staying true to our theme, Organizing with Purpose, this highly interactive session centers around the pivotal question, “How can designers contribute to leader’s efforts to align purpose, impact, and organizational performance?”

Description:

Leadership in the future, at all levels, will focus on the employee experience in three critical areas: Purpose, Participation, and Progress toward meaningful goals. What does that mean for members of the organization design community? How do we remain relevant and differentiated as the lines blur with other disciplines?

How people talk to each other and what they talk about determines how well the organization will function. In times of high disruption, leaders need to encourage employee dialogue and participation at an organizational, team, and individual level. The leader’s success is our success.

Let’s come together as a community to share experiences, compare notes, and challenge our assumptions about the future through four CORE experiences that connect and direct human effort in these areas, creating an engaging, motivating workplace.

    • Context (Organizational Experience)
    • Outcomes (Team Experience)
    • Role (Personal Experience)
    • Environment (Emotional/Physical Experience)
