MAKING IDEAS VISIBLE
Transform your complex maze of daily challenges into clear forward paths. In this 50-minute presentation, join Tom Wujec multi-TED speaker, author, and technologist to deepen your problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills. Tom will show to sharpen your thinking (as well as your team’s) by using simple visual tools to frame, explore, develop, and align on ideas. He will show how to use these tools to map big issues (such as implementing AI/ML and striving to create breakthroughs while zeroing risk) to everyday challenges (such as aligning on team goals and managing tasks when there’s too much to do). Prepare by bringing a pen and paper and see how you can quickly solve problems faster, lead meaningful change, and create breakthroughs.
