Nonstop headlines celebrating the relentless AI wave have left design teams exhausted, anxious about job security, and locked in friction with internal partners. Yet overcoming the pushback of a talented team reluctant to embrace half-baked technology that ignores proven design principles is exhausting, and frankly unproductive.

Stepping out of this defensive position requires a fundamental shift in perspective. Perhaps it's time for design teams to adopt a Growth Mindset, where designers "reframe perceived failures as opportunities to learn and grow." Imagine the leverage gained when teams stop resisting the future and start actively shaping it. But how? Let’s discuss!

In this session, we’ll explore ways to:
• Define what a growth mindset looks like on a modern design team

• Foster team resilience to overcome tool fatigue and AI job anxieties

• Support the new ways of thinking required to move from AI experimentation to scalable implementation

Bring your thoughts, ideas and questions for an interactive, facilitated discussion with up to 12 senior design leaders from high profile brands.
