In this episode, we uncover a few of the reasons why workshops can be innovation and creative goldmines when you're looking to solve a problem, make a decision, or whenever you have a challenge ahead of yourself or your team.

We look at how design thinking workshops are actually more likely to produce iterational innovation, than the transformational innovation that we hear about in the media, before explaining the need for good preparations, the limitations of workshops, and how to get the buy in of everyone involved.

Along the way we touch on the need for diversity and inclusion, and of course we share some exercises and tools you can try for yourself. Prototype party anyone?!

In this episode we're joined by Lara Doherty, Founder of The Motivation Clinic, and
Author of The Mighty Book of Motivation.

Adept at using the power of visualisation, with a particular interest in the power of vision boards to fuel your achievements and help you reach your goals, Lara explains how she now pays this power forward to others.

Visualisation techniques have been used by sports coaches to improve the performance of sports stars very successfully for decades, yet visualisation still conjurs up a notion of 'woo woo' when we think of the types of people who use it.

A simple way of future-pacing your subconscious, including visualisation in your daily work and business life can actually have a massive impact.

Using visualisation within the design thinking process, is a great aid to getting a team on board with a central mission. Given that your brain is 65% more likely to remember a picture than it is a word or phrase, you can see why it is so important when needing to ensure people remember and retain information.

Agree? Then join us as we discover the most effective visualisation techniques, that are easily implemented into your daily habits.

Don't agree? Then there's even more reason to join us. Let's see if we can challenge your opinion... because there's always something new to learn!

In this episode we welcome the inimitible Christine Hemphill from Open Inclusion.

With a background in design, Christine now specialises in inclusive product design, with a particular interest in age and disability.

From retail to banking, healthcare to transport, Christine's knowledge, understanding and desire to disrupt the product design sector for the greater good is admirable.

We're all 'users' of products, but due to her dislike of the transactional nature of this word, she makes sure that us as 'humans' are the the heart of everything she does instead.

Should designers be designing because they like the creative output, or should they be designing for the purpose of others?

Are you curious enough to want to consider alternative perspectives to yours?

How do the differences between humans affect the way we interact with our surroundings?

Christine answers all these questions and more.

So join us as we learn from her insight, appreciate her calm approach, and are forced to reconsider the value of an MVP (minimum viable product).
