Description

“Design Thinking” is permeating many aspects of organizational life – including how the federal government is engaging its employees. Global Head of Duke CE Labs Tony O’Driscoll will show how Design Thinking can be applied to design work, just as it has been used to design products and services. Discover some basic tenets of design thinking and a process to innovate and implement in a lean and experiential way.

Then, find out how Sydney Heimbrock is leading the charge to build an innovative public sector workforce, helping create a workplace in the U.S. government that unlocks creativity to solve complex problems. Learn how her work leading the Innovation Lab at the US Office of Personnel Management is teaching federal leaders and professionals to apply human-centered design.

In this session, you will…
  • Discover a mindset that can help learning leaders better innovate the way they design, develop and deliver training.
  • Learn what is required to future-proof your workplace.
  • Explore how high-performance teams are reshaping leadership, learning, and development.

This webinar showcases themes from Training magazine’s recent Innovations in Training event, as well as previews topics that are part of the Duke CE Leadership Experience, which is hosted at Ernst & Young’s Atlanta Headquarters on February 12, 2018, as part of the Training 2018 Conference & Expo.
