Keynote Speakers
From Silos to Shared Success: Collaborating Across the Change Ecosystem Change efforts often stall because disciplines operate in silos with misaligned goals and assumptions; they don’t work together and can sometimes work against each other. In this interactive, co-facilitated session, we will explore how intentional collaboration across the change ecosystem creates shared ownership, stronger alignment, and better outcomes. |

Closing Speaker
Beyond Empathy: Co-Creating Change Through Inclusive Design Empathy is essential, but on its own it rarely leads to solutions that truly work. This interactive session challenges traditional empathy-based leadership and introduces inclusive design as a more powerful approach to creating meaningful, scalable change. Participants will learn how designing from the edges, centering those often unintentionally excluded, leads to stronger solutions, greater trust, and lasting impact. Through hands-on exercises and real-world examples, attendees will experience the shift from designing for people to designing with them and walk away with a practical, repeatable framework for leading more equitable, creative, and future-ready teams. |
