Navid, It may be more research than you'd like, but there are also some books that could be good references for you in preparing. Of the ones that I've found so far, those most connected to your points on design thinking and business would be: * Marty Neumeier's "The Designful Company" * Adaptive

Hi Navid: Suggest asking yourself: 1. what you want the CEO and the Executive team to know and action after he listens to the presentation? 2. what homework/research you need to do about the CEO's organization and its culture? (how receptive are they to the UX message?) 3. what problems the CEO

Navid, can you share more about where they're at now? What's their current perspective on design? What is their background? Is there an existing team? Are you trying to make them more central or staff up, or...? Much of Marty Cagan's writing is relevant to this. See his book Inspired, or his news

I would be interested in that outline as well. Also, I'm looking for samples for how to propose a UX vision, what that vision should include, and what types of team members would make up an ideal UX team. Thanks, Brian . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Posted f

I think many of us might find an outline like that useful. Probably the worst thing ever to happen to me in business was a failed presentation to the CEO where he started swearing at me 5 min. in and basically said "F*** off. You're done." Ever since then I've been a bit shaky to present to

Hi Navid, I designed and gave just such a presentation recently to one of our customers. I can't share the deck, as it is full of examples of customer work, but I could probably share the outline that includes all of my talking points if you would find that useful. Best, Jack On Aug 19,
