ON-DEMAND EVENT
Good design, done well:
How to navigate the complexities of a design career
How do you design for the future when we can't even predict what's happening tomorrow?
Ben Little asks himself this existential question (among others!) every day.
Join us as he shares the lessons he's learned from scaling corporate design programs and how he builds that expertise into the graduate program he leads for strategic designers.
He'll also reveal how to convince non-designers that you can do more than build them a pretty PowerPoint deck. 🙃
Discover key takeaways...
💡 Why user research is the foundation of strategic design
💡 Connecting with your users and stakeholders through storytelling and a shared narrative
💡 Ways to combat mid-career burnout and imposter syndrome
💡 How to make sense out of design tools vs. design identities in an ever-shifting landscape of innovation

Ben Little is the Director of Design Innovation at Massachusetts College of Art and Design and VP of Design Strategy at Fidelity Investments. In recent years he served as the head of strategy for the Siemens digital healthcare incubator in Silicon Valley and the head of strategy at Sutherland Labs.
He's all about making sense of the complexities of people, tech, and organizations to make a real impact. He combines lessons from business, anthropology, data science, and the arts pulling from a BA at the College of William & Mary and an MBA at Oxford University.
Outside of work, his daughter would describe him as an occasionally fun dad, mediocre runner, and nerdy professor with obsessive tendencies around coffee, jazz records, and books about innovation.
