Vignette’s Chief Strategy Officer, Mike Lepis will lead a presentation on How to leverage creativity in a time of chaos

Employees need consistency, clarity, and meaningful information to stay engaged and thrive. A moment of crisis or chaos in your organization can throw this out of balance and have lasting effects. Think of the fallout of a poorly handled layoff announcement. Bringing creativity to these situations can bring solutions that will cut through the noise in a time of chaos. An open mind, courage, and a process will deliver novel solutions that bring order to the chaos. The biggest enabler to a creative approach is permission to do things differently. Crisis moments have built-in timelines and boundaries which will help the creative process. Using human-centered models such as design thinking give the challenge a framework that people can follow for rapid solutions to communicate through chaos.

Come away with these key takeaways:

• Understand how to find out what communications employees in your organization need during a time of crisis or chaos.
• Advocate for novel and non-traditional approaches to solve communication problems in your organization.
• Gain an understanding of how to use design thinking to develop creative solutions at a time ofcrisis or organizational chaos.

Hope to see you there!
