COVID, climate change, wars, gender struggles and new technology acceleration: recent events question the societal choices we have made in the past years. As we realize that change is the only constant in our personal and professional lives, we recognize that business as usual cannot be the answer. To change direction, we need a different perspective, a different type of leadership. In the Age of Transitions, comes Design Leadership. Design is an alternative route to regenerate business, technology, and ultimately our lives. We need to design for impact, to transform our behaviors, usher in new ways of working and collaborating… Designers by nature thrive in times of transitions, focused as they are on improving existing situations and envisioning a better world, as well as their ability to remain creative despite the turmoil. Meet experienced design leaders making a difference in industry and academia, as well as the game-changers from the World Design Organization and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
