Design thinking for the non-designers
About a decade ago, I was at a conference in Portugal, as a reporter. The conference was for founders of Silicon Valley's most buzzy companies. These founders and other executives were really being wined and dined. The conference even invited an artist to create a picture for these internet founders He created this beautiful photograph of a barrel of oil.
This photo really struck me. I rolled it up, brought it home, and framed it, and it's hanging in my living room. What the artist was trying to convey was that sometimes we set out to invent things that change the world. But we can't always predict what that change will be.
Are unintended consequences inevitable? Must progress always consist of things we think up and the accompanying drawbacks we can’t predict? Today’s guests will help us approach these questions as designers.
Scott Doorley and Carissa Carter are the authors of Assembling Tomorrow. They are both deeply involved in the d.school at Stanford University: Scott as the Creative Director and Carissa as the Academic Director. They teach courses at Stanford on design and build an interdisciplinary curriculum that recognizes the far reaching ripple effects that come with inventing and creating in our world. And in this conversation, they'll bring us insight on how to apply their way of thinking to any problem. You can find the episode here, or below:

4moThe timing of this episode is both weird and perfect. I teach data science to high school students now, I put “Ethics” right on top of the list, however I struggle to find a set of principles or even recommendations that are agreed upon across the board even while understanding that most of it is common knowledge. Open to recommendations.
