Leadership Excursion
The hardest part isn't knowing what to build, it's getting everyone behind it. A gathering of thirty design leaders who are pushing to make design more impactful inside their organizations.

Sonoma,
California
We're exploring coalition building. Design is often the easy part. Building the coalition, that's where it gets hard. We'll bring together voices across business, the arts, and politics to share how they think about coalition building: what it takes, what breaks it, and what makes it last.
We are bringing together a small group of people we genuinely admire, 30 leaders from across industries and disciplines, for two days of good conversation, good food, and the kind of thinking that's hard to do when you're in the middle of it all.
