Solving the systemic issue that's holding design back / Mauricio Manhaes / Episode 186


Listen Later

This can't be true... It was a revelation that left Mauricio Manhaes in disbelief.

A disturbing pattern emerged during his research on what it means to cultivate a design-driven culture in everyday work.
Doing research is much like connecting dots, where individual stories often lack groundbreaking insights. However, unexpected patterns can suddenly emerge when you look across these stories.
And that's exactly what happened when Mauricio interviewed some of our field's most accomplished, experienced, and respected professionals. These professionals were generously sharing their work journeys and challenges.
But when Mauricio zoomed out and started to reflect on the stories, he realized these challenges weren't rooted in a lack of skills or resources. A deeper, systemic issue is at play, limiting design and designers from living up to their full potential.
Mauricio has recently published his findings and came on the Show to share them with us.
Join us to gain insights into what might be limiting your impact, and walk away with a practical tool to help you have constructive conversations about this topic with peers.
What I deeply appreciated about Mauricio's approach is that it's all about understanding and improving, not about assigning blame.
Enjoy the conversation, and as always keep making a positive impact.
~ Marc
