Upcoming Talks
The integration of UX expertise into the C-suite does more than shape product strategy—it redefines the very essence of leadership.
As organizations balance the demands of innovation with operational and financial pressures, UX leaders offer an informed, human-centered perspective that transforms decision-making at the highest level.
However, this transformation is not a simple task; it requires overcoming cultural resistance, aligning diverse teams, and rethinking what it means to lead.
This talk introduces the Four Layers of UX-empowered Leadership as an innovative framework to reshape the C-suite: empathy-driven decision-making, storytelling and data synthesis, systems thinking for complexity, and designing culture for sustainable change.
Through real-world examples, attendees will gain actionable insights into how these layers help leaders prioritize, foster innovation, and drive measurable outcomes that benefit both users and the business.
