    Deep Dive: The Power of Embedded Change Agents
    “The Design Technology team at Lionakis is confronted with the challenge of keeping up with the ever changing and diverse needs of a growing firm with four offices, six rapidly evolving market-based studios, and a continuously changing technology landscape. As a response to this challenge, Lionakis introduced the Design Technology Support Specialist role nine years ago. DTS Specialists are technologically-advanced, billable staff embedded on projects across the firm. DTS Specialists help introduce new technologies and workflows to the project teams, serving as embedded change agents who provide a local touch to continuous change efforts.
    In this Deep Dive, Kristina shared the nuts and bolts of the DTSS program and talked about the essential role DTS Specialists play in managing change at Lionakis.”
