Stanford d.school × Kearney PERLab
Hosted by the legendary Stanford design school (d.school) and Kearney PERLab, the Design Leadership Cohort brings together senior industry leaders for an immersive executive education program.
Program structure
The program is architected as a cognitive journey that mirrors the life cycle of a breakthrough: first clearing the clutter of legacy assumptions, then testing the boundaries of the possible through radical experimentation, and finally anchoring those insights into a visionary, long-term road map. It’s a transition from the internal work of the leader to the external transformation of the enterprise.
Stanford d.school faculty
Participants work directly with Stanford d.school faculty who helped shape modern design thinking and innovation practices used across Silicon Valley.
The role of Kearney PERLab
Stanford d.school brings the provocation. Kearney PERLab brings the operational reality.
Kearney PERLab experts specialize in translating experimental design thinking into decisions that hold inside large organizations.
They help participants convert studio insights into strategies that survive:
- Capital constraints
- Operating complexity
- Product and technology road maps
- Organizational incentives
