The Human Centered Design Podcast (Premium)

Hello, my name is Gerry Scullion and welcome to Bringing Design Closer, which is part of This is HCD.  I’m a service design practitioner and trainer based in Dublin City, Ireland.  Today in the show, we caught up with Doug Powell who’s an award-winning designer with more than 30 years’ experience in a wide range of design disciplines and is currently the vice president of design at IBM in Austin, Texas.  We speak in great detail around what IBM looked like around Doug’s arrival, and what things that they did over the last six years to enable design centricity to occur inside Big Blue. 

We go into the ROI of design to help us all better understand how they enable the conversation at the leadership level to hire 1,500 designers across the organisation and the globe.  Doug speaks about the incredible leadership team that really champion design centricity at IBM.  Something that we all know is one of, if not the most important pieces in enabling any transformations to occur.  We cover off lots of other little areas in the conversation.  I really enjoyed it, so let’s get straight to it.

Hello, and welcome to Brining Design Closer.  My name is Gerry Scullion and I’m a service design practitioner based in Dublin City, Ireland.  Today, I caught up with Kate Dawson, a doctoral researcher from the NUI school of psychology in Galway Ireland.  Now, I actually stumbled across Kate’s work on This Morning, the UK TV show with Eamon Holmes and Ruth Langford.  In that episode, Kate was speaking about how we should maybe consider teaching about masturbation and porn as part of more open discussions around sex education and our bodies with children in school.

Hello, and welcome to Bringing Design Closer on the This is HCD Network.  A very warm welcome to the very first episode of Bringing Design Closer. It’s a podcast dedicated in exploring the tactical and strategic things that work in enabling a design centricity to occur in organisations, businesses, and governments.  My name is Gerry Scullion and I’m a service design practitioner based in Dublin City, Ireland.

In this episode, we caught up with André Schaminée, author of a fantastic book: Designing with and Within Public Organisations.  In the episode, we discuss what are the biggest things that prevent local councils and governments from adopting design methods.  We ask, what makes the challenges of adopting deign in government unique. We discuss, what is a wicked problem?

We discuss, also, what are the tactical things that we can do to solve wicked problems?  Such as framing and reframing as a tactical tool. As being critical to the success of not only the project, but also the integrity of the methods themselves.
