Leading creativity: a fireside chat with Eric Quint | DBA webinar
As former Chief Brand and Design Officer at 3M and Head of Design Management and Consulting at Royal Philips, Eric Quint has a uniquely experienced view of the world of leading design. He knows that global enterprises, often large and complex, recognise the role of creativity and design as an opportunity to enhance brand experience, advance innovation and drive transformation into the future and that crucially, strong design leadership is needed to build, develop and scale design to maximise its impact as a creative platform for competitive advantage.
In this exclusive discussion, we’ll be asking Eric to explore the impact that it’s possible to have as a leader of design, be that from an internal position within a company, or at the helm of an external team working with a company to create value through design. He’ll be sharing his key pieces of advice around leading design right now, exploring how design can create positive change, and explaining how to navigate the challenges that we all face as strategists, creative professionals, and change-makers, as we work to drive progress and brand relevancy.
Join us from 3-4pm on Thursday 5 November to hear unmissable insights into effective design leadership and don’t miss the opportunity to pose your questions to Eric during the discussion.
