Organizations continue to face the challenge of integrating Design as a competency into strategic, management and operational practices. The value of integration has been proven, yet the barriers to implementation remain. At the same time, Design is extending its reach to the Enterprise as a playing field.

Over the course of three days, we will discover the intersection of Strategic Enterprise Design, Design Thinking, and Design Management. We will explore how to Design to Align the disciplines involved to add value across the enterprise in organizations of any scale.
