The first few minutes of any meeting or work session can set the right tone and get people already starting to practise behaviours. The activities that are around building trust with someone, that's wonderful warm up to do if you're going to have oup then start to launch an interviewing process. Or the activity that's around coming up with lots of metaphors and similes for complex problems or topics is a great warm up to use when you are launching a story telling session. And having tools, as you've discussed, to help us do that is really, really helpful.
“Very often, you are not designing for yourself. And you kind of have to get out of your own way to effectively design with others’ needs in mind.”
In this podcast episode, lecturer Matt Abrahams is joined by Sarah Stein Greenberg, Director of the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design, aka the Stanford d.school, and author of Creative Acts for Curious People: How to Think, Create, and Lead in Unconventional Ways.
Together, Greenberg and Abrahams discuss how design and communication require seeing things from more than just our own point of view, and the tools we can use to broaden our perspectives.
