From evolution to revolution
Decoding change is hard, but we can learn a lot from those who have embraced evolution and those who brought revolution in times of adversity. Design has undergone a monumental shift — impacted by environmental, social and technological factors.
Huctia Lindeman
Head of Design & Research, Likework
10:45 – 11:30
Be a better design leader (and build a healthy team) through honesty, transparency & trust
Design teams are rife with burnout, low morale and inefficiencies. These unhealthy and unsustainable practices lead to negative cultures and high turnover.
Grab a drink and a snack and take the opportunity to connect with your peers.

Frying pan to the fire, choosing the unpopular path
Designers have a tick, we have an innate need to critique. It comes easy to us, it’s always obvious what should have happened, when, and to what end.

Director of Product, Bandhub

It's okay to be the boss!
By nature designers thrive in the realm of collaboration and connectedness, generating feelings of mutual identification and empathy with others. As individual contributors this is a wonderful strength, but when designers step into leadership positions with new levels of accountability, collaboration is no longer enough. At this level it is important for leaders to understand and utilize hierarchical power.
