The d school is all about helping students and executives learn design thinking skills. Design has through its long history really been kind of poking its nose into lots of different places. Those same ways that you can think about being intentional about what your om feels like, or how your phone is designed could be extrapolated to other systems as well. For example, one of our fellows a few years ago was working on re designing the way in which substitute teaching happens in the united states.
“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.
