Problem 1: 90% of designers don't understand how to measure their success.
Problem 2: We're facing planetary problems. It's not enough to think about end-users and business goals.

⚡️ Bridge the gap between creative innovation and business objectives.
⚡️ Develop a comprehensive understanding of responsible growth practices and methods.
⚡️ Create products and services that consider the greater ecosystem and systemic impact. 🌎

This course will transform you into a well-rounded technologist, capable of driving impactful change and fostering a culture of sustainable innovation within your organization. Navigate ambiguity, design with data, and gain stakeholder buy-in to execute successful projects.
