With change and disruption happening faster than ever, how do you future proof your product and solution design?

In our next Desk Diary with Datacom, we will cover:

1. Getting a seat at the table: How to make design more strategic
2. Strategic foresight: Why looking at PESTLE signals can help you spot trends before they happen to help your product scale into your future market.
3. Avoid designing for trends that already exist: the importance of looking at early signals to be a disruptor

Join Angela Millward, Design and Innovation Practice Lead at Datacom, as she shares her framework and templates for guiding key stakeholders through an innovative process that bridges future-oriented thinking with actionable steps for the present.

The approach is structured around the three stages of innovation:

Discover: Mapping Future User Landscapes
Learn to identify signals and emerging trends to envision the context and needs of future users, laying the groundwork for innovation.

Define: Prototyping the Future
Employ speculative design and rapid prototyping techniques to bring abstract future concepts to life, creating tangible artifacts from tomorrow.

Develop: Bridging Visionary Design with Present-Day Development
Translate future product concepts into actionable design and development roadmaps, turning visionary ideas into reality.

Don’t miss this opportunity to get a peek behind the curtain at how Datacom leverages rapid foresight to drive innovation for their clients.

For leaders today, mastering change is more crucial than ever, and its importance will only continue to grow.

Whether it’s navigating digital transformations, evolving workplace dynamics, or implementing agile methodologies and AI adoption, effective change leadership is key to success today. Yet adoption—the most critical part of any transformation—is also the area where many initiatives fail.

She will share how the Minimum Viable Change Process has been instrumental in leading successful AI transformations, as well as agile, structural, digital, process, and cultural changes, and how to apply these principles and her learnings to your work.

Drawing on over two decades of real-world experience, Elizabeth will provide you with valuable insights and Miro templates to ensure your transformation efforts are fully adopted. Equip yourself with the tools and knowledge to confidently lead through today’s rapid and complex changes.

You’ll learn:

1. How to Minimise Waste and Reduce Rework Costs: Ensure your change project delivers value by following some simple guidelines

2. When and How to Engage Stakeholders: Best practices for co-creating with stakeholders through a continuous feedback approach to achieve optimal buy-in

3. Key Strategies for Successful Adoption: Techniques to facilitate seamless and effective adoption across your organisation to ensure benefits realisation

Whether you're managing change or a leader navigating the complexities of transformation, this session is designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools needed to drive success.
