In this series of webinars we are going to talk about design under three main aspects:

The journey of Design Maturity:

Design became a language to help organizations become more creative, more innovative and more user centric. More companies have good design, and the minimum acceptance of design quality is quite high. In this context, how can you help to bring strategic design value to your organization?
