How to Present Design Work to Stakeholders
Have you ever found yourself in a crucial design presentation to stakeholders, only to watch their interest wane as you struggle to articulate the value of your work?
It's a far too common scenario.
Disappointing stakeholder moments like this can erode our confidence and diminish the perceived value of even the most innovative design work. But this situation can also be transformed with the right mindset, and by mastering the gentle art of persuasion...
So, if you're ready to capture your stakeholders' attention, boost your confidence, and more effectively influence decision-making, this d.MBA virtual event is for you!
We're thrilled to have Maureen Herben, Product Designer at Miro, as our special guest. Maureen will help us ensure we're not just heard but truly understood and valued. She will share advice to help you transition from merely presenting to convincingly persuading and turning critique into opportunities for dialogue.
In this d.MBA virtual event, we'll explore:
Seeing Through Their Eyes: Learn to view design from a stakeholder's perspective. Understand what drives their decisions and concerns them and how to align your work with their expectations.
Feedback as a Tool: Transform criticism into constructive feedback. Explore strategies for recording feedback, using it to refine your work, and demonstrating improvements that directly address stakeholder concerns.
Articulating Design's Value: Learn the art of communicating the intrinsic value of design to non-design stakeholders. Make them see the importance of your role and the transformative power of design in achieving business objectives.
Looking for effective strategies to captivate your stakeholders and enhance your influence in design presentations?
