Beginners Guide to Design Thinking
Welcome to A Beginner's Guide to Design Thinking, the perfect podcast for curious souls eager to harness the power of design thinking to level up their business and personal life.
Join your hosts - Lucy Patterson and Tracy Sharp - two Northern lasses passionate about helping people like you disrupt the status quo. We’re here to boost your business performance while reigniting your zest for life. No "but we've always done it that way" excuses allowed!
We'll guide you through the process of figuring out what you want, experimenting with how to get it, and embracing failure as a stepping stone to success. You’ll learn how to apply those lessons, tweak your approach, and keep evolving - all while keeping it fun, and scientifically backed. It might get a little messy - but not crayon-on-your-sweater messy!
From our own experiences and expertise - failures included - we’ll make sure you never feel alone on this creative journey.
So let us hold your hand as you empower yourself with design thinking, getting closer to your goals without the frustration.
Once you’ve finished listening, we have two small requests:
- If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform. (If not, shoot us an email and let us know how we can improve.)
- Reach out! Send us an email or connect via LinkedIn to share what actions you’ve taken from any of our episodes. We bloody love action-takers! 🙂
Beginners Guide to Design Thinking
E is for Ed (The inimitable Ed Watson)
In this episode we meet Ed Watson, a Design Thinking afficionado and Workshop Facilitator extraordinaire. Listen as Ed shares his design thinking journey. It's a journey that takes us via IBM and Accenture, with a stop-off finding out more about his activism and the notion of 'Modern Elders', then pivots to his monthly meet-ups that bring together an awesome community of design thinkers from around the world.
Ed's workshops are revered, so we're delighted to have him sharing his insights, favourite tools and exercises with us.
If better human insight, improved empathy, a healthier understanding of the world around you...sprinkled with a side of 'trouble-making'...is your thing, this is an episode you don't want to miss!
