Today, I talk to Christine Ruf and Sebastian Stoddart about their move from design leadership to innovation consulting.

I made contact with them both while writing my article on the same topic, which in turn was prompted by a training programme I developed on what it takes for senior designers or design leaders to make the leap into innovation consulting.

03:37 Christine’s career path

27:38 Old and new skills 

43:31 On the creativity of non-designers
