Embedding design in an organisation isn't easy. Especially if that organisation is quite traditional, heavily regulated and not very open to change.

But the guest in this episode still found a way to do that. The secret to success?

Take people by the hand and gently guide them through the process in small steps.

This might sound obvious but we tend to forget that the things that come natural to us feel very distant to others.

But giving too much guidance means that people won't take ownership of the process. Give too little guidance and you'll lose people along the way.

In this episode we're going to explore how you can find that perfect balance.

After listening you will be better equipped to facilitate the transition to a more designerly way of working.

Even when your organisation is traditional, heavily regulated or not open to change.
