Sally launched WorkLab in 2015, a design thinking community of action committed to making work better, based on her work with Stanford’s “Redesigning and Redefining Work” project. She is committed to prototyping new workplace strategies and systems that align with the lives of today’s workforce so companies can better harness talent for mutual success. WorkLab uses design thinking, lean startup, and storytelling skills to design, test, and scale experiments to #MakeWorkBetter.
