The Human Centered Design Podcast (Premium)

Earlier this year, I read an article by one of my heroes, The Edge of U2 in The Guardian. The first item in his list of culture highlights, was the book of today's podcast guest, Neil Theise. Like me, The Edge managed to get an early copy of the book from Neil’s awesome publicist in New York, Nicole Dewey and he too joined the fan club for Notes on Complexity.I have become captivated about many of the leading authors on complexity, and was thrilled when Neil agreed to record with me, his first from within the Design world. I’ve been researching complexity for several months, and unpacking what we can take away from decades of research by leaders in the field. How can we apply this level of thinking into our day to day work as change-makers.This conversation is one that I will look back on an cherish, but also cringe at times, as I ask some pretty naive questions. My goal here with many of the podcasts, is sometimes to ask the questions that hopefully can open up channels for many, so as you can probably tell by this stage, I’m not afraid of asking for the sake of clarity.If you can, get your hands on this book. It’s stunning. It’s carefully created and really has opened my mind to new worlds that I am excited to continue to explore. https://www.neiltheiseofficial.com/ https://www.spiegelandgrau.com/notes-on-complexity https://www.linkedin.com/in/neil-theise-63087330/ This is HCD LinksCoaching and Mentoringhttps://www.thisishcd.com/coaching-mentoring-for-innovators-change-makersVideo CoursesService Design : https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/video-on-demand-introduction-to-human-centered-service-design-using-journey-mappingVisualisation Methods for Change Makers: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/visualisation-methods-for-change-makersService Blueprint Essentials: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/service-blueprint-essentialsJourney Mapping Fundamentals: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/journey-mapping-fundamentalsStakeholder Mapping Essentials: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/stakeholder-mapping-essentialsBecome a Patron (Ad-Free Stream)https://www.thisishcd.com/become-a-patronJoin our newsletterhttps://www.thisishcd.com/community/stay-up-to-date-with-this-is-hcdFree email guides7 Days of Awesome Journey Map Tips: https://www.thisishcd.com/landing/7-day-killer-journey-mapping-tipsOur partner linksWebflow is our web partnerhttps://webflow.grsm.io/o6ox60tdryl2Descript powers out productionhttps://www.descript.com/?lmref=eXj7zACastUp edits our showshttp://app.usecastup.com/podcaster-schoolI prepare notes with Speechifyhttps://share.speechify.com/mzuLDOoAll music on this podcast is from our pro level Artist account - and we love them for it!https://artlist.io/Gerry-292475

In this episode of the Makers & Doers Podcast, I speak with Katie O'Donoghue, an artist and author of several beautiful children’s books. Katie is an art psychotherapist and is in the process of completing her PhD in Health Psychology in UCL. Katie speaks to me today about the power of introducing art and design to children, and how it can help them process emotions. https://www.katieodonoghueart.com/ https://www.gillbooks.ie/childrens/childrens/the-little-squirrel-who-worried This is HCD LinksCoaching and Mentoringhttps://www.thisishcd.com/coaching-mentoring-for-innovators-change-makersVideo CoursesService Design : https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/video-on-demand-introduction-to-human-centered-service-design-using-journey-mappingVisualisation Methods for Change Makers: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/visualisation-methods-for-change-makersService Blueprint Essentials: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/service-blueprint-essentialsJourney Mapping Fundamentals: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/journey-mapping-fundamentalsStakeholder Mapping Essentials: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/stakeholder-mapping-essentialsBecome a Patron (Ad-Free Stream)https://www.thisishcd.com/become-a-patronJoin our newsletterhttps://www.thisishcd.com/community/stay-up-to-date-with-this-is-hcdFree email guides7 Days of Awesome Journey Map Tips: https://www.thisishcd.com/landing/7-day-killer-journey-mapping-tipsOur partner linksWebflow is our web partnerhttps://webflow.grsm.io/o6ox60tdryl2Descript powers out productionhttps://www.descript.com/?lmref=eXj7zACastUp edits our showshttp://app.usecastup.com/podcaster-schoolI prepare notes with Speechifyhttps://share.speechify.com/mzuLDOoAll music on this podcast is from our pro level Artist account - and we love them for it!https://artlist.io/Gerry-292475

In this conversation I caught up Justyna Turek, founder of many businesses and based in Sweden. Justyna works most often with Next Agents and Change Pilots in Poland. We speak about the work that they have been focussed on for over a decade, sustainability and design. I wanted to explore how they got into it, as I know there are many people that I coach who are interested in this space, but maybe feel unsure on how to work more in this space. We all know the crisis that we face globally with global warming, so aligning to Earth Centered Design Principles is probably not a massive leap for most of us, but just how would you get started…Linkshttps://changepilots.pl/ co-founderhttps://www.nextagents.se/ co-founderhttps://www.weareholis.org/ ceoThis is HCD LinksCoaching and Mentoringhttps://www.thisishcd.com/coaching-mentoring-for-innovators-change-makersVideo CoursesService Design : https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/video-on-demand-introduction-to-human-centered-service-design-using-journey-mappingVisualisation Methods for Change Makers: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/visualisation-methods-for-change-makersService Blueprint Essentials: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/service-blueprint-essentialsJourney Mapping Fundamentals: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/journey-mapping-fundamentalsStakeholder Mapping Essentials: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/stakeholder-mapping-essentialsBecome a Patron (Ad-Free Stream)https://www.thisishcd.com/become-a-patronJoin our newsletterhttps://www.thisishcd.com/community/stay-up-to-date-with-this-is-hcdFree email guides7 Days of Awesome Journey Map Tips: https://www.thisishcd.com/landing/7-day-killer-journey-mapping-tipsOur partner linksWebflow is our web partnerhttps://webflow.grsm.io/o6ox60tdryl2Descript powers out productionhttps://www.descript.com/?lmref=eXj7zACastUp edits our showshttp://app.usecastup.com/podcaster-schoolI prepare notes with Speechifyhttps://share.speechify.com/mzuLDOoAll music on this podcast is from our pro level Artist account - and we love them for it!https://artlist.io/Gerry-292475

On Manuel Lima’s website, he mentions “a celebrated voice on UX design and data visualization who has spent the past 15 years leading design teams and building cutting-edge digital experiences at companies like Google, Codecademy, Microsoft, Nokia….”. His first three books were breathtakingly beautiful. If you like data and visualisations, then you are more than likely familiar with one or all of his books.A number of months ago, Manuel sent me an advance of his latest book, The New Designer and it instantly felt different. I could sense a sea change had occurred and in this conversation that you are about to hear, we discuss the reflective process that Manuel took in the creation of this book.It’s an awesome book - that is perfectly timed. Many of us are questioning our roles in the creation of service that perpetuate social structures and norms. This book is not just for you, but it’s for everyone you know who is on a journey of self-discovery and purpose.This was a lot of fun to record and hope you enjoy it! https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262047630/the-new-designer/ https://www.mslima.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/mslima This is HCD LinksCoaching and Mentoringhttps://www.thisishcd.com/coaching-mentoring-for-innovators-change-makersVideo CoursesService Design : https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/video-on-demand-introduction-to-human-centered-service-design-using-journey-mappingVisualisation Methods for Change Makers: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/visualisation-methods-for-change-makersService Blueprint Essentials: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/service-blueprint-essentialsJourney Mapping Fundamentals: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/journey-mapping-fundamentalsStakeholder Mapping Essentials: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/stakeholder-mapping-essentialsBecome a Patron (Ad-Free Stream)https://www.thisishcd.com/become-a-patronJoin our newsletterhttps://www.thisishcd.com/community/stay-up-to-date-with-this-is-hcdFree email guides7 Days of Awesome Journey Map Tips: https://www.thisishcd.com/landing/7-day-killer-journey-mapping-tipsOur partner linksWebflow is our web partnerhttps://webflow.grsm.io/o6ox60tdryl2Descript powers out productionhttps://www.descript.com/?lmref=eXj7zACastUp edits our showshttp://app.usecastup.com/podcaster-schoolI prepare notes with Speechifyhttps://share.speechify.com/mzuLDOoAll music on this podcast is from our pro level Artist account - and we love them for it!https://artlist.io/Gerry-292475

In this conversation I caught up Frank Mueller, of Playmobil Pro. Frank is Managing Director of GBI Global Business Innovation in Munich. We speak the incredible kit that I recently bought for the new Makers & Doers School that I have launched, which is a design school for children aged 6-12. We speak about how Playmobil works in the professional organisational capacity to help unlock conversations and visualise complexity.Watch this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Y13zvuo-JsThis is HCD LinksCoaching and Mentoringhttps://www.thisishcd.com/coaching-mentoring-for-innovators-change-makersVideo CoursesService Design : https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/video-on-demand-introduction-to-human-centered-service-design-using-journey-mappingVisualisation Methods for Change Makers: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/visualisation-methods-for-change-makersService Blueprint Essentials: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/service-blueprint-essentialsJourney Mapping Fundamentals: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/journey-mapping-fundamentalsStakeholder Mapping Essentials: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/stakeholder-mapping-essentialsBecome a Patron (Ad-Free Stream)https://www.thisishcd.com/become-a-patronJoin our newsletterhttps://www.thisishcd.com/community/stay-up-to-date-with-this-is-hcdFree email guides7 Days of Awesome Journey Map Tips: https://www.thisishcd.com/landing/7-day-killer-journey-mapping-tipsOur partner linksWebflow is our web partnerhttps://webflow.grsm.io/o6ox60tdryl2Descript powers out productionhttps://www.descript.com/?lmref=eXj7zACastUp edits our showshttp://app.usecastup.com/podcaster-schoolI prepare notes with Speechifyhttps://share.speechify.com/mzuLDOoAll music on this podcast is from our pro level Artist account - and we love them for it!https://artlist.io/Gerry-292475

Pietro Jarre has a doctorate in geotechnical engineering. He’s a specialist in geotechnical and environmental issues on waste rock deposits, mining infrastructures, landfills and brownfields. Since 2015, his focus is on the environmental and social impact of digital technologies. He’s founder of Sloweb association, something I’d highly recommend checking out at slowweb.org. Pietro starts our chat by recounting his early years in mining, leading up to the Los Frailes tailings dam disaster.Link:http://slowweb.orgThis is HCD LinksCoaching and Mentoringhttps://www.thisishcd.com/coaching-mentoring-for-innovators-change-makersVideo CoursesService Design : https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/video-on-demand-introduction-to-human-centered-service-design-using-journey-mappingVisualisation Methods for Change Makers: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/visualisation-methods-for-change-makersService Blueprint Essentials: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/service-blueprint-essentialsJourney Mapping Fundamentals: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/journey-mapping-fundamentalsStakeholder Mapping Essentials: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/stakeholder-mapping-essentialsBecome a Patron (Ad-Free Stream)https://www.thisishcd.com/become-a-patronJoin our newsletterhttps://www.thisishcd.com/community/stay-up-to-date-with-this-is-hcdFree email guides7 Days of Awesome Journey Map Tips: https://www.thisishcd.com/landing/7-day-killer-journey-mapping-tipsOur partner linksWebflow is our web partnerhttps://webflow.grsm.io/o6ox60tdryl2Descript powers out productionhttps://www.descript.com/?lmref=eXj7zACastUp edits our showshttp://app.usecastup.com/podcaster-schoolI prepare notes with Speechifyhttps://share.speechify.com/mzuLDOoAll music on this podcast is from our pro level Artist account - and we love them for it!https://artlist.io/Gerry-292475

I attended Teaming with AI in Nuremberg recently with two of the most awesome designers that I know, Adam Lawrence and Markus Edgar Hormess of WorkPlayExperience. I caught up with them to discuss the event, what we have learned and where we see the short and medium term impacts of AI on the Design and business processes. https://www.teamingwith.ai/ http://www.workplayexperience.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamstjohnlawrence/?originalSubdomain=de https://www.linkedin.com/in/markushormess/ ABOUT THIS IS HCDCoaching and Mentoringhttps://www.thisishcd.com/coaching-mentoring-for-innovators-change-makersVideo CoursesService Design : https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/video-on-demand-introduction-to-human-centered-service-design-using-journey-mappingVisualisation Methods for Change Makers: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/visualisation-methods-for-change-makersService Blueprint Essentials: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/service-blueprint-essentialsJourney Mapping Fundamentals: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/journey-mapping-fundamentalsStakeholder Mapping Essentials: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/stakeholder-mapping-essentialsBecome a Patron (Ad-Free Stream)https://www.thisishcd.com/become-a-patronJoin our newsletterhttps://www.thisishcd.com/community/stay-up-to-date-with-this-is-hcdFree email guides7 Days of Awesome Journey Map Tips: https://www.thisishcd.com/landing/7-day-killer-journey-mapping-tipsOur partner linksWebflow is our web partnerhttps://webflow.grsm.io/o6ox60tdryl2Descript powers out productionhttps://www.descript.com/?lmref=eXj7zACastUp edits our showshttp://app.usecastup.com/podcaster-schoolI prepare notes with Speechifyhttps://share.speechify.com/mzuLDOoAll music on this podcast is from our pro level Artist account - and we love them for it!https://artlist.io/Gerry-292475

Hey folks, I’m delighted to bring you two exclusive interviews from a very special event that I attended recently in Nuremberg in Germany called Teaming with AI. A few weeks ago, as I was driving to Northern Ireland, I mentioned to my wife, about an event my friends Markus Hormess, Adam Lawrence and Florian Bailey were hosting. I didn’t expect to be given a free pass to attend from the family, but it came and I didn’t ask a second time.I’ve a bit of a love hate relationship with AI. I enjoy reading about, but can foresee some massive transformations that are likely to occur, not in the future, but right here and right now. I hadn’t really sat down and given the impact that much thought other than it was extremely likely. This event gave me the time to pause, connect, reflect and review the changes in macro level detail. What was of most interest to me, was how it would change how we design or more to the point, how it would likely change DESIGN. I gave an-hour session at the conference on how This is HCD has been leaning into AI since 2018. Most of the edits are trained on my voice, meaning we have presets for my microphone at home, and even have the ability to edit what I say using a trained AI on my Mac to make small changes here and there.But back to Design, well I was in a workshop led by our guest today, Steffi Keiffir. She is an independent practiioner and facilitates Design Thinking workshops, Design Sprints etc and has been using AI a lot more than most within their work, and we go deeper into this. Just how they are using, what AI pieces they are using, so if you listen to the entire episode, you’ll get an overview of just how much change is upon us. We used a basic 5-step design process and reviewed how, where and when AI can be applied and what the likely outcomes are.Quite simply, this is a must listen for anyone on the tools, or anyone within any strategic function in business today.Let’s get into it. https://www.linkedin.com/in/steffikieffer/ Explore the Conference / https://www.teamingwith.ai/ Slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1gqtyDQw3XIgVJyAQ3bK0gqRpjbvhp4BbomcRSiAN8w4/edit#slide=id.g22de5629a10_0_11 ABOUT THIS IS HCDCoaching and Mentoringhttps://www.thisishcd.com/coaching-mentoring-for-innovators-change-makersVideo CoursesService Design : https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/video-on-demand-introduction-to-human-centered-service-design-using-journey-mappingVisualisation Methods for Change Makers: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/visualisation-methods-for-change-makersService Blueprint Essentials: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/service-blueprint-essentialsJourney Mapping Fundamentals: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/journey-mapping-fundamentalsStakeholder Mapping Essentials: https://www.thisishcd.com/courses/stakeholder-mapping-essentialsBecome a Patron (Ad-Free Stream)https://www.thisishcd.com/become-a-patronJoin our newsletterhttps://www.thisishcd.com/community/stay-up-to-date-with-this-is-hcdFree email guides7 Days of Awesome Journey Map Tips: https://www.thisishcd.com/landing/7-day-killer-journey-mapping-tipsOur partner linksWebflow is our web partnerhttps://webflow.grsm.io/o6ox60tdryl2Descript powers out productionhttps://www.descript.com/?lmref=eXj7zACastUp edits our showshttp://app.usecastup.com/podcaster-schoolI prepare notes with Speechifyhttps://share.speechify.com/mzuLDOoAll music on this podcast is from our pro level Artist account - and we love them for it!https://artlist.io/Gerry-292475
