Hosted by Hala and CapCHI

Most private and public sector organizations struggle to embrace digital transformation beyond the fundamental operational level. Innovation requires creativity, insight, systems thinking, an experimental mindset and courage. User experience researchers and designers are arguably the best equipped to explore and define the future, but very few are engaged in the challenge of innovation, next generation thinking and visioning.
