The digital world is fairly blind to what needs to be done because in digital design we don’t think deep, broad and wide enough. Jared challenges us to think longer and broader and deeper, to think more connectedly on an earth experience level. We must rise to this impending global threat because if we don’t we condemn future generations to sink in a world we—us, our generation—have wasted.https://gerrymcgovern.com/books/world-wide-waste/https://twitter.com/jmspoolCreators & Guests Gerry Scullion - Host Stef Murphy - Producer Like what we do?

A system that the tech giants of Silicon Valley are using and abusing for their gain. We chat about lots of things such as what we can do about this, should we be worried - and what does the future look like as a result of these organisations gaining more and more control of not only the markets but us, as people -I really enjoyed speaking with Aral and loved the parts where he speaks about Design being treated like ‘Decoration’ in organisations who have abuse centred within their business models. Aral has some really strong points of view around what to do if you work in organisations like this - Aral's website - https://ar.al/Ethical Design - https://2017.ind.ie/ethical-design/Small Technology Foundation - https://small-tech.org/Creators & Guests Gerry Scullion - Host Stef Murphy - Producer Like what we do?

Bas is also a co-founder of the Reach Network (I’ll throw a link to this in the show notes). For those of you who don’t know what Reach Network is, it’s a global network of agencies specialising in human-centred design research - a wonderful organisation and definitely worth checking out.Bas is also a partner of This is Doing, and works alongside myself and a host of other amazing people. Some of the courses that Bas has live centre around life centred design, and we discuss in this episode the local differences of HCD and how people are currently researching, and what are the common problems in this. How can we as practitioners become more culturally inclusive? Bas is a wonderfully deep thinker and has fantastic insights into what we need to do, to not only improve Design (with a capital D) but also how we can make more of a global impact with our work.https://twitter.com/hellobas?lang=enhttps://www.stby.eu/Train with Bas at This is DoingCreators & Guests Gerry Scullion - Host Stef Murphy - Producer Like what we do?

My name is Gerry Scullion, and I’m a service designer, and founder of This is HCD and CEO of This is Doing - a live class design and innovation company, providing training in the skills of service designers, design researchers, product managers, user experience designers and much more.You in for a treat with this episode. Let me tell you a story, in a previous life, I had dreams of becoming a musician. I was a singer-songwriter, and had a band and reflecting back now it was some of the best experience and times of my life. I’ve played music from the age of four and started writing my own music at the age of 12. So for me, Design and Music were part of the same mindset. It wasn’t until earlier this year, that I was out for dinner with a friend and mentioned how I see the huge similarities between Design and Music, that I realised, not everyone sees this. Let me tell you, the musical mindset is something that Designers can and should embrace more of. There are so many layers to this mindset, from creating music being a team sport, needing rhythm and cadence, and excitement, you need talent, but you also need the dedication and confidence to explore and embrace the unknown in the live format. Music is created in a studio, very much like a designers studio, but it’s how songs are delivered into the live arena, that they start to become living and breathing things. Designing services and creating music are so similar - there’s the obvious metaphor, to lift Patrick Quattlebaum and Chris Risdon’s book of ‘Orchestrating’ but there is much more to it than that. Just creating a song, from the moment of ‘jamming’ in a studio or working alone, is like creating an outline of a thing. Over time it’s iterated and iterated upon, and often tested live to get feedback from the audience. The ‘song’ is often refined and refined until you go into the studio. Well, that was the process that worked for me up until 2006 and we discuss what happened around then, and how technology helped reshape that process.In this episode, I connect with a former producer of mine, that I was lucky enough to work with way back in 2006-2008, Rafa Sardina. 60-time Grammy-nominated, 15-time winner. With a client list that looks like the most celebrated artists of the last 100 years, that include Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Dr Dre, Beyonce, Stevie Wonder, Celine Dion, and everyone’s favourite singer, Susan Boyle. We chat about how the craft of songwriting has evolved from the early 90’s on what working with Michael Jackson looked like, to how the industry validates songs. We chat about how technology disrupted and ultimately killed the large recording budgets that typically ran for months or years in some instances, and to where Rafa is currently now, mid-pandemic, producing globally via live recording sessions in the top studios in the world.https://www.rafasardina.com/?thisishcdhttps://www.twitter.com/rafasardinahttps://www.facebook.com/rafasardinahttps://www.instagram.com/rafasardinaCreators & Guests Gerry Scullion - Host Stef Murphy - Producer Like what we do?

Lead Better.Leave a review (+ help us grow): https://ratethispodcast.com/hcdIn this episode, I speak with Buelani Mfaco, a South African asylum seeker and activist based in Ireland - he’s a spokesperson for MASI, the movement of asylum seekers in Ireland and is an active voice in shedding light from within one of Irelands Direct Provision centres, Knocklisheen in Co. Limerick.To give some background to this system, in 1991, only 9-people sought asylum in Ireland, compared to 3883 in 1997. This caused alarm to the Irish and the Irish Government at the time, But rather tackle and provide a safe refuge for these people who are vulnerable, they created this scheme to detract or reframe that the Irish “social welfare system was in some way attracting asylum seekers to this state”.Some people listening may ask how this topic is related to Design - it is absolutely interrelated. The awful experiences that Bulelani and the thousands of people in the Direct Provision scheme are facing, as a direct result of a system that was created by the Irish Government in 1997. This episode is an example of a system that was NOT created from a human-centred perspective - not in the slightest. As an Irish person, I am extremely embarrassed that this scheme is still in existence. An updated new Irish Government has committed to dissolving Direct Provision, but we discuss in this episode what that might look like.Bulelani Mfaco on TwitterCreators & Guests Gerry Scullion - Host Stef Murphy - Producer Like what we do?
