Design For Business

Feb 26, 2019 12:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)

If you lead a company or business unit that makes software of any kind, then it's critical that you understand that design can have a profound impact on the chance that your company is going to be successful. We’ve seen massive returns on investing in design in several recent reports. And yet, many companies have Product Managers, Engineers and Business Analysts doing design rather than skilled designers, a massive opportunity loss.

Join veteran design leader Audrey Crane for this this webinar where she will address the biggest questions facing business leaders:
1. What is design for software?
2. How does design build value for an organization?
3. How do I build a design team?
4. What are the most common mistakes to avoid?
5. How should I work with designers?
