February 26: Justin Ferrell to Media City Bergen!
In February, we will have the pleasure of hosting a two-day workshop with Justin Ferrell from Stanford d.school. Justin Ferrell joined the the d.school in 2012 to design and direct its fellowship program, a leadership accelerator for restless experts who want to transform their industries.
The program helps entrepreneurial professionals learn and apply design thinking to organization design, to create and spread large-scale transformations. Since its launch, fellows have designed systems interventions in corporate innovation strategy, international development, financial services, legal technology, government workforce collaboration,and many other areas.
A former journalist, Justin worked for seven years at The Washington Post, most recently as the director of digital, mobile and new product design. Also a prolific visual storyteller, Justin designed the investigative series “Angler: The Cheney Vice Presidency,” winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting, as well as four other Pulitzer finalists.

On top of these events, there will of course be a number of breakfast seminars, Show & Tells, workshops, social events, a ‘SkatteFUNN’-seminar, as well as some brand new concepts. Stay tuned!
