Nicole Umphress, Education Designer, Patterns Program, IBM
Discover how the IBM Patterns Design Education team had to pivot from an immersive, in-person program to an entirely virtual environment in a matter of weeks as the pandemic unfolded — and what elements of this shift will remain going forward.

Using Enterprise Design Thinking to Innovate

Ann Novelli, Senior Design Manager, and Julia Lubarsky, Experience Designer, IBM
Learn about IBM’s practice of Enterprise Design Thinking — their framework for applying a human-centered mindset to complex problems. — and then put this practice to work! Given everything you've seen and heard about physical space and hybrid training, we'll use this time to uncover new ways to think about our environment and spaces.

• How might we create better hybrid learning experiences?

• How do our physical spaces impact the work we do?

• What new tools might we apply as we create innovative solutions?

• Take inspiration from the ways IBM has responded to change and build the habits that help to foster that adaptability.
