Everyone loves outstanding design, but how can it be used as a business tool that provides more than fleeting benefits? And how can left-brained managers effectively support and develop the work of right-brained designers?

In this keynote address, Neal Yanofsky will explore the benefits and challenges of elevating design to a strategic tool.
