Design Thinking for Advancement Professionals
About
Explore how design thinking can transform your approach to today’s rapidly evolving advancement landscape. Design thinking is an approach to problem-solving, rooted in the history of design fields, that relies on empathy, creativity, and experimentation—a powerful, approach that might help advancement professionals tackle complexity. In this session, Prof. Rafe Steinhauer (Dartmouth College) introduces design thinking and tasks participants to apply challenges in their work, such as navigating donor engagement, cross-campus collaboration, or stewardship strategy.

Join us to explore how design mindsets like empathy, creativity, and experimentation can transform the way you approach advancement—and leave with actionable skills to drive meaningful change in your institution.
