Design Success in Turbulent, Ambiguous Spaces with Chris Avore

Design teams and organizations are confronting rarely-seen degrees of turbulence, unpredictability, ambiguity, and complexity today. Generational trends and macro-economic forces are creating a pressure-cooker for business and design leaders where every decision can seemingly save or sink the company. 
But there are techniques and approaches design leaders can deploy consistently with their business, product, and engineering partners, and within their design teams, that can improve your odds for success. This talk will explore those approaches by examining the role of how systems thinking prepares us for designing in complex spaces, and how experimentation gives us a path forward when we’re confronted with uncertainty in front of us and shifting foundations below us.
Walk out of this talk with a renewed focus on looking for moments of interconnected opportunities, ways to gain the insights you need to have conviction to move forward, and how to bring your leaders along with you as you successfully navigate these new environments and ecosystems.
