Presentation Abstract:

“If I had an hour to solve a problem I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and five minutes thinking about solutions” – Albert Einstein

Modern day projects need more than just tracking requirements, milestones and schedules. A more sophisticated understanding of the user experience ensures that the right solution is being crafted that will be sustainable to your user community. The three stages of design thinking (Collaboration, Innovation and Acceleration) are a great complement to project management frameworks, waterfall, agile and hybrid alike. Join us as the leadership team from Throughline Inc., one of the nation’s leading enterprise design strategy firms walks us through the power of human centered design with examples of failed projects that were re-worked with design thinking and achieved unprecedented success.
