Getting feedback is the most powerful, yet, most under used tool that we have at our disposal in the business world. Actively seeking outside opinions on our work is a great way to advance a new idea, identify overlooked details, and engage important stakeholders.
Learn how designers develop new ideas and how business leaders make decision using critique and feedback. Critique is a powerful skill to test your ideas early and often to get to better ideas sooner. Join SYPartners and Rotman DesignWorks to learn methods to advance your thinking in your teams and on the job.
Open to all 2YR and 3YR students.
Carina Cortese, Strategy Director, and Natalie Silverstein, Director of Brand Development, from SYPartners, will lead the session. Learn more about SYPartners here.
