Session: “Design Thinking & Diversity”

As IDEO’s Senior Global Director of Learning & Development, Heather’s mission is to empower people to tap into their authentic expression and become great team members. She places an emphasis on creating teams that are both diverse and inclusive. Join her to explore the connection between design thinking and diversity, and how one can inspire the other.

Next, hear from the Co-Managing Director and Principal of Gensler Los Angeles. As a global influencer for human well-being through design excellence, Barbara brings design expertise to this year’s forum. She has been named the Executive of the Year by the Los Angeles Business Journal for its Women Making a Difference campaign, as well as a Woman of Influence by California Real Estate Magazine. Focusing on making an impact through high-quality design, Barbara will complement the forum’s overarching theme by demonstrating the value of inclusivity and teamwork.
