Talk by Gessica Puglielli: Empowering Design Teams
Traditional sign-off processes can slow down creativity and decision-making in design teams. In this keynote, I’ll share my experience leading MPB’s design team through a transformation, where we moved from top-down approvals to a culture of accountability and trust. This shift not only boosted team morale but also enhanced creativity and sped up the design process. Attendees will walk away with actionable strategies for empowering their teams, fostering trust, and overcoming the challenges that come with reducing micromanagement. It’s time to empower your team to thrive without sign-offs.
Interactive Forum: From Sign Offs to Shared Accountability:
This interactive forum turns the keynote into a working session. Together, we will unpack what it really takes to replace sign offs with clear ownership, fast decisions, and high quality outcomes. We will explore the practical building blocks: defining decision rights, setting quality bars, running lightweight critique, and handling risk without reverting to approvals. Bring your real scenarios, blockers, and edge cases. You will leave with a set of patterns you can apply straight away, plus a few phrases and templates for aligning stakeholders and keeping momentum when trust is still being earned.
