This month:
Main Program: Positioned like a BOSS
Led by Denise Andrews and Gregory Rutledge
Description:
As designers, we were trained to create deliverables.
Wireframes.
Prototypes.
Design systems.
Research reports.
The problem?
Businesses don't buy deliverables.
They invest in outcomes.
As AI continues to automate tasks, the professionals who thrive won't be the ones who know the most tools. They'll be the ones who understand how their work affects revenue, retention, customer behavior, and business strategy.
In this highly interactive M3 Plus workshop, Denise Andrews and Gregory Rutledge will challenge participants to rethink their role entirely.
You'll learn how to shift from being an order taker to becoming a trusted business partner by understanding the four business levers every company cares about:
• Lead Generation
• Lead Conversion
• Customer Ascension
• Customer Retention
Through hands-on exercises, group discussions, real-world scenarios, and practical frameworks, you'll learn how to connect your work to measurable business outcomes and communicate your value in ways executives understand.
You won't leave with more theory.
You'll leave with a new lens, a repeatable framework, and a practical process you can use immediately to become more valuable, more influential, and more future-proof in your career.
If you've ever felt stuck explaining why your work matters, this workshop is for you.
It's time to stop designing screens and start designing outcomes.
Keep on moving, don't stop.
What You’ll Gain:
Learn how to connect design work to measurable business outcomes
Shift from being an order taker to a trusted strategic partner
Practice communicating your value in ways executives and stakeholders understand
Gain practical frameworks you can apply immediately in your career
Walk away with a new lens for designing outcomes — not just deliverables
