Does Discovery have a branding problem?

Track: Non-technical

Discovery is often the first stage in a project - exploring the problem space, uncovering insights, and laying the groundwork for solutions. But, most digital projects don't start with a blank page anymore. They begin with a budget decision, a business case, or a solution that's already taking shape. With so much thinking happening before discovery starts, it's fair to ask: what are we actually discovering?

This session explores how discovery is evolving, the value it continues to create and whether it’s time for a rebrand.
