Earn Your Seat at the Table: Leadership Lessons for Designers
Drive success in your design projects, even in a tough economy. In this Master Class, you'll learn practical strategies to navigate uncertainty, strengthen your approach, and maximize impact, while effectively communicating design's value without relying on business jargon.
The pressure is mounting on design leaders to deliver exceptional outcomes with less and less. Tighter budgets, fewer team members, and the constant need for quick wins are becoming the new normal. These challenges are not unique to designers. In this Master Class webinar, Managing Director and Head of Design at Societe Generale CIB Morgane Peng will show you how to turn challenges into opportunities with tactics that non-design leaders have used to thrive in difficult environments.
You’ll learn:
- Navigate economic uncertainty: Understand how to adapt design practices to a risk-averse business climate.
- Prioritize impact: Learn strategies for creating meaningful value with limited resources.
- Communicate effectively: Discover how to communicate design impact.
- Safeguard creativity: Explore techniques for maintaining innovation and originality in challenging environments.
- Collaborate effectively: Gain insights into building strong relationships with non-design stakeholders.
With her expertise in Corporate and Investment Banking, Morgane Peng will help you elevate your design team's influence, protect your creative vision, and deliver tangible business value. This webinar is for design professionals and leaders who want to learn how to flourish in a challenging economic climate.
Speaker
Morgane Peng started her career in consulting and finance, where she explained structured investment solutions to diverse clients ranging from agricultural cooperatives in Paris to regional banks in Hong Kong. She saw a design opportunity in the badly-designed, esoteric software used in financial systems and on the trading floor. In her quest to make enterprise financial management tools more user-friendly, she found a path to becoming a UX designer.
Today, Morgane is responsible for the design vision and strategy of Societe Generale Corporate & Investment Banking. Working out of the 150-year old banking group's offices in London and Paris, she delivers united and meaningful experiences with her team across Societe Generale products—ranging across start-ups, corporates and financial institutions.
Previously, Morgane ventured into various fields such as consulting, financial markets and tech. In her spare time, she’s a gamer at heart and works on an indie video game which was successfully crowdfunded on Kickstarter.
