Available In-Person| Virtually
COVID-19 has required businesses, organizations, and leaders to rethink their missions, adapt, and pivot on how and what they deliver in real-time. To understand ever-changing social needs and develop new solutions for the populations, they serve unprecedented speed, fewer resources, and evolving timeframes. Many organizations must reinvent themselves during this pandemic. Design thinking, a human-centered design, is a powerful and transformative tool and process that can help organizations adapt during crises. Design thinking allows organizations to assess their stakeholder needs better, understand core problems, and approach creating innovative solutions and new ways to ensure they can adapt, pivot, and identify opportunities for long-term sustainability.
In this presentation, Dethorn draws on his design thinking framework to show 21st-century leaders how they can shift from a leader-knows-best method to creating organizations that ask questions and experiment with new ideas to solve challenging problems with better results.
