In this week’s podcast Pär is back and we dive right into a very spontaneous talk about how we can use design to solve complex business challenges. Inspired by an article in Harvard Business Review (https://hbr.org/2019/03/the-right-way-to-lead-design-thinking) we elaborate on the role of Leadership when introducing new thought models as Design Thinking or new processes as Design Sprints. 

We discuss how a designer’s approach can help solve problems in order to build more successful and more meaningful products and services for our customers and what you as a Leader need to know to guide your teams along a new path.
