Shelley Evenson unpacks the challenges of designing for corporate innovation, the dark-side of design thinking, and how AI may help and hinder us.

• How is that we’re not designing experiences for people?
• What reservations do you have about corporate design thinking?
• How do we know if AI is providing us with accurate information?
• What role does timing play in the success or failure of innovation?
