Our first roundtable of 2026 will convene our Council to establish a shared thesis for Experience Leadership in the AI era, focusing on the unmet business needs that require stronger leadership from design, not just as makers, but as accountable shapers of systems, standards, and value creation.
Co-hosted by Mary Piontkowski, VP of Product Design at Cisco Networking, the discussion will explore how experience leadership differs from traditional design leadership, and what it takes to evolve the role toward greater accountability, influence, and enterprise impact.
The quarter will culminate in a clear, shared thesis to guide development and validation efforts throughout the year.
Join the DXC community to share your expertise, connect with other senior leaders on the council, and inspire the next generation of design leaders. Collaborate with peers who are shaping the industry and driving innovation.
