Managing Anxious Stakeholders

How do you navigate the stakeholder that seems to always swirl for one reason or another. The times when they changing requirements suddenly, or they don’t seem to be aware of the impact of the requests they make. Today on the Daily Sprint, we’ll look at what makes stakeholders anxious and how you can respond in a Designy way to get them on the right track. Check out the course you take during your lunch break and then try out in a meeting or two in the afternoon.

More Than Taste

How are your design tastebuds? Do you have good taste? Bad taste? Should we even be talking about this thing people call “taste”? We’ll talk about what it is, and why you need to be concerned with far more than taste.
