How does a company equip its leaders around the world with a common framework for solving complex problems? Steelcase CEO Jim Hackett will discuss how the global company with more than 13,000 employees worldwide has used performance-based learning to drive a critical-thinking framework throughout the organization and the importance of turning a design-thinking mindset into measurable skills. Hackett will also share how Steelcase, a leader in developing insights about how space impacts work performance, has researched the impact of space on learning environments — and put some of its findings to work in its own work sites. James P. Hackett, President and Chief Executive Officer, Steelcase Inc.
