Published on

One buzzword people mention almost everyday is “culture”, as in our organization has “strong” or “creative” or even “toxic” culture. But what do people mean when they say this and does it really have to do with free lunches?

Now, what if if you wanted to design the culture of your organization, how do you start? And do you need to have a fancy title to be influential?

This talk will provide designers at any level with a concrete framework to define, conceptualize, and begin to design the culture of your team or organization.
