By 2035, it is estimated that there will be more than 2,000 zettabytes of data produced globally. Based on current storage pricing, 2,000 zettabytes would cost $58 trillion to store. The global economy is currently worth about $80 trillion. The pace and quantity of data production is not even remotely sustainable.

One zettabyte—just one zettabyte—would require 20 trillion trees worth of paper to print out. There are about three trillion trees left on this planet. The digital world is undergoing a Big Bang of data and 90% of it is useless because we have a culture that prizes production and collection over-analysis and insight. Nick talks about how we might address the Big Data tsunami.

Hello and welcome to another episode of BDC. My name is Gerry Scullion, and I’m a service designer, and founder of This is HCD and CEO of This is Doing - we provide live online design and innovation classes, providing training for service designers, design researchers, product managers, user experience designers and much more.

In this episode, I am delighted to welcome David Dylan Thomas, author of the new book from A Book Apart, Designing for Cognitive Bias. We speak openly about bias in the design sphere and what we can do to mitigate it - right from the start of our projects. David’s a wonderful guest and also facilitated a wonderful live event for the This is HCD community in Berlin, now available on YouTube - I will add a Link to that in the show notes.

Welcome to the Doing Design podcast on This is HCD. Hosted by all the worlds best live design and innovation trainers at ThisisDoing.com - 

The Doing Design podcast focusses on all the behind the scenes things related to actually DOING Innovation and Design, such as Design Research, Facilitation, Prototyping, Visualisation - and a great sounding board for industries like Service Design, UX, Content Design and Product Management - 

In this episode, you’ll hear from myself and Marc Stickdorn author of 'This is Service Design Thinking' and 'This is Service Design Doing' and trainer at This is Doing -

We chat about how almost all projects in an organisation impact cx and ex. We speak about how to get an overview of all projects going on across the different teams and departments that impact those experiences.

We dive into the back story of Journey Map Operations, Marc's new approach using journey maps as a visual management tool - something that I believe is an amazing framework that can really really help organisations and teams ‘move the dial’

I love chatting with Marc, and as we mention at the top of the episode, has been on This is HCD, now 4-times! But the good news is with Doing Design, you’ll hear much more from Marc in an on-going basis, chatting more around the complexities of Doing Design.

Let’s get into it.

The growth in webpage size over the years has been astounding. It is driven by a culture of delivery, a project mindset, and a feeling that the Web is this unlimited space where you can essentially do anything you want without consequences. But good web design is a complex task that many organizations are either unwilling or unable to manage professionally.

Once the initial buzz of signing off the visual design is done people want to move on. Fixing stuff is seen as a cost that the organization doesn’t have time or money for. Reframing things around quality can change the focus. Jono explores how we can think of web design through a quality lens.

In this episode, I speak with Irish garden designer and tv personality - Diarmuid Gavin. He has presented gardens at the Chelsea Flower Show on nine occasions from 1995 to 2016 - He has also authored or co-authored at least ten gardening-related books.

For regular listeners, you will be familiar with a recent episode I did with 16-time Grammy award-winning producer, Rafa Sardina - well this episode is continuing on that trend. I am really keen to explore other disciplines to see how they work to solve complex problems and also approach their work. I see gardening and working with nature as a direct parallel to working within organisations. Thinking like this, I was excited to speak with Diarmuid to see how he explores designing for the future and chat at length about external factors that could hinder the designer's vision. 

Diarmuid was a great guest - and wanted to give a big shout out to his wonderful Instagram page where he answers questions regularly through his Live events. So if you are interested and getting started with anything garden related - Diarmuids yer man!

In this episode, you’ll hear from myself, Gerry Scullion, and Renatus Hoogenraad, a trainer at This is Doing and one of the finest facilitators and practitioners in the business.

Renatus is an executive coach with a background in theatre and dance and also a leader within the world of applied improvisation.

In this episode, we speak about how facilitation is evolving due to the pandemic and how our home office spaces are becoming less about work and moving closer towards a stage.

It’s a good one - let’s get straight into the episode...

I am delighted to welcome Melbournian, Donna Spencer, a name that should be familiar to many Information Architects around the world. Donna has over 20-years experience, and has lived and breathed the full lifecycle and has seen strategic design evolve. Donna has written 3 books ‘A Practical Guide to IA’ ‘Card Sorting’ and Copy for the Web, and as you will learn in this episode, has two more in the pipes - 

In this episode, myself and Donna speak openly about what an information architect does, something some of you may already know, but it’s interesting to hear from Donnas perspective how IA sits within the world of UX and also how it can benefit anyone in the delivery of services. Information is critical and we speak about what makes IA skills really really important in an ever-changing world.

Today on the show, is Pinar Guvenc, Partner at SOUR, an architectural and design firm based in Brooklyn, New York - SOUR is a play on the words social and innovation - and their purpose is to responsibly use Design to build a better future. We get into the what the role of Architecture is and how it connects with services, and how the discipline of architecture has evolved over the last few decades and how in reality, the architects are caught between money-hungry property developers, who ultimately hold not only the purse strings but also much of the control in what is possible. We speak about accessibility in physical places, and what needs to change in order for architects to deliver more inclusive experiences. It’s a pretty free-flowing conversation and we covered quite a bit of ground. Let’s get into the episode.
