Design Leadership & Change
Carnegie Mellon University
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Presented by AIGA and Carnegie Mellon University
Thank you for your interest in this summer’s executive education courses at Carnegie Mellon University. We regret to inform you “Design Leadership & Change” and the “Service Design Weekend Workshop” have been cancelled. Please check back next year for new professional development opportunities.
About the program
As traditional roles between disciplines and collaborators are becoming blurred, designers are finding themselves in positions of increasing influence.
To effectively lead clients, boards of directors, community groups or
transdisciplinary teams, new skills and perspectives are required along
with an understanding of one’s personal leadership potential.
“Design Leadership & Change” is an executive-education course
designed for mid-career professional designers who want to learn how to
lead with their strengths for more successful outcomes. This
user-directed, open studio style course is intended to address the
individual leadership concerns of each participant, and to give
participants the tools they need to increase their capacity as leaders
in day-to-day situations.
At the end of this transformative week, you will
walk away with more confidence about your leadership ability, tools to
immediately elevate your influence and a clear understanding of how to
push your career to the next level.
Service Design Weekend Workshop
From June 17–19, Carnegie Mellon’s School of Design and Tepper School of Business will also offer a wellness-focused “Service Design Weekend Workshop”,
co-taught by Shelly Evenson and Hugh Dubberly, for a separate fee. AIGA
members are eligible for discounted pricing on the workshop as well as a
combination package that includes the workshop along with “Design Leadership & Change” to maximize your learning.
