Lunch will be provided.

This interactive session offers participants an opportunity to explore how design thinking can help their institutions respond to their most vexing challenges. Design thinking is the discipline of finding problems worth solving and creating solutions in response. This approach to planning and strategy offers presidents and other higher education leaders some novel ways of asking pertinent questions, solving human problems, and creating viable new campus offerings. Dawan Stanford and his team of experts from Fluid Hive are experienced in applying the principles of design thinking to opportunities and challenges in higher education.

Joining Stanford in leading the breakout sessions will be Ryann Hoffman, Founder, Staircase Strategy and Design Strategy Lead, Roche Diagnostics; Karen Hold, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Experience Labs; and Riley Leary, Learning Designer and Project Manager for Fluid Hive.

Chair: Kevin M. Ross, President, Lynn University
