Workshop
Finding the right Problems to solve
Everyday, we are bogged down by the day-to-day and what others tell us to do. We go around mindlessly, playing hide & seek with to do lists. Is there an alternative? How can you, as a design leader, find meaningful and strategic problems to work on instead of busywork? How can you understand the strategic landscape of your company and build on it and maybe even challenge it?
