Can design make the world better?
Many of us got into technology and design because we wanted to make the world a little bit better. Design promised to put people first and to envision a better future for the world — if only we could get a seat at the table. Today, design often does have some power in organizations and design-driven companies have created immense shareholder value. Heck, tech companies are some of the wealthiest companies in the world. But, are we making the world better? Is design's purpose to drive business value or human values? Or are they intertwined? Kevin Hawkins and Daniel Burka will discuss the common hurdles and how design leadership can steer organizations towards a vision for a better world.
