Design Leadership Chronicles: Growing Organisational Change Through Design

Design is increasingly recognised as a key mindset and driver of meaningful change in organisations. It has the potential to help businesses gain a deeper understanding of their operating context, identify the right type of change, and envision alternative futures.

Design Leadership Chronicles is a book exploring design's transformational power in business. It narrates nine stories of leaders from nine global corporations, showcasing how top companies worldwide are using design to drive change.

Marzia Aricò, the author of the book, will present its key themes and insights, sharing real-world examples of design-led transformation. She will also engage the audience in an interactive role-play of selected chapters, making this a reflective and dynamic session. Expect an inspiring discussion on the impact of design leadership in shaping organisational change.
