Why antagonize the Business? Leverage your Design skillset to bridge the Value Perception Gap
In the tech field, there is often a disconnection between the value that we can provide as Designers and the perception of that same value. It’s a fact. So, what can we, as Individual Contributors, do about it? Can we affect change in a practical way by leveraging our strategic skillset?
Consider this talk in between a manual and a reality check. Enrico will share the story of how Workshops, UX research and Branding can make your life as a Designer easier while moving the needle toward user centricity and innovation in your company.
