👇 Looking to upskill your design team in 2025?

When you get invited to a podcast you’ve listened to throughout your design career, there’s no “playing it cool”—you say yes immediately (and then proceed to keep telling the host what a fan you are 😎) I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with the brilliant Gerry Scullion for The Human Centered Design Network Podcast and it’s safe to say we covered a lot of ground. Here are some of the highlights: 🎤My squiggly career path that’s taken me from an art degree, to marketing to service design and now to designing company operating systems for healthier organisations (and co-founding The Future Kind). 🎤Why culture transformation needs both a top-down and bottom-up approach—and some practical tips on where to start. 🎤The difference between a good culture and a strong culture (spoiler: strong cultures are what we need more of). 🎤Why surveys make us shudder (and why they’re just one tiny window into bigger problems). 🎤 How systems thinking is the skill that can supercharge your strategy design and ensure lasting impact. 🎤 The surprising power of involving cynics in the change process (yes, even more than your champions!). A huge thanks to Gerry for being the perfect host, this conversation was a total joy 💛 Plug into our dulcet tones below, and I’d love to hear what resonates most with you after listening.🎧 #DesignThinking #CultureDesign #Podcast
