Liftoff: A Conversation with Chris Avore

Josh Corringham
October 3, 2023

 

In our latest installment of our Design Conversation Series, we spoke with Chris Avore, head of design at Northwestern Mutual, and co-author of "Liftoff! Practical Design Leadership to Elevate Your Team, Your Organization, and You." Chris discusses some of the ways that, like so many things, design leadership has evolved and adapted since the book was released in 2020.

Key Topics 

  • How needs of newer design leaders differ from those with years of experience, and some universal themes for anyone overseeing a design team
  • How increased risk aversion and scrutiny of decision-making during turbulent or uncertain times can impact outcomes
  • How to measure the strength, maturity, and influence of existing design leadership when applying at new organization
