I am a self-professed organisational change and service management rebel WITH a cause!

2019 saw the publication of my second book “Game On! Change is Constant. Tactics to Win When Leading Change is Everyone’s Business". It explores how every organisation can be fit, skilled, capable, supported and well-prepared for constant change.

My third and fourth books “Unleash the Resiliator™ Within” were published in 2020. The handbook for individuals enables everyone to be resilient in the face of constant change. The handbook for leaders enables leaders to create, maintain and sustain an environment in which resilience can thrive.

 About Kylie (In her own words)

Change Republic Co-Founder. Lifelong learner, tech passionate, podcaster at learning to thrive, resilience found by the ocean. I love being a part of creating great learning experiences that help businesses and the people in them flourish.
 
 Emily and I also believe the gig economy is in full swing and contract/project work will continue to grow, but with this can also come uncertainty as job risk increases. We believe that if we can provide a dedicated platform for L&D teams to connect with freelance experts it will enable more people to thrive in the digital age and as we navigate the gig economy.

 I am making a conscious choice to live life on my own terms. My dream scenario would be to create highly skilled and well paid jobs in our home towns, jobs that don't exist today. We would love to enrich the regional communities that have given us so much.
 
 Beyond that I would like our business to evolve into a global learning community with great work is at its heart. My dream is that we can be a part of learning becoming a full multimedia experience, I call it gorgeous learning. I would love our community to be a source of inspiration for learning creators. A place where both the people and the work they do inspires others to create new and fabulous ways to engage learners.

My guests cover a diverse number of critical topics to enable effective and sustainable change in the workplace.

My guest today is Patrick Link; The Editor and co-author of the Amazon bestseller The Design Thinking Playbook. 

A professor and co-founder of the Trihow framework, Patrick is a wealth of practical knowledge and thought leadership in the area of Design Thinking.  

I am grateful to have Patrick sharing his knowledge and insight with me today.   

 Topics include:

·      What is Design Thinking?

·      HIPO vs VOC

·      Good testing does not cost much

·      Small, big and wicked problems

·      Start small but start

·      Change practitioners’ seat at the table

·      How to make change tangible

·      Tear down the silos

and much more...

About Patrick (In His Own Words)

 Editor of the two Amazon bestsellers "The Design Thinking Playbook" and "The Design Thinking Toolbook". Both books are available in German and many other languages.
Design Thinking is very well known, and many tools and templates are available, see. e.g. www.dt-toolbook.com/tools or www.leancanvas.ch
However, there is a gap between Design Thinking and agile development. Which are the key tools in this gap, often called "Lean Start-up"? I am looking for an exchange about this gap.
 
Before Covid-19 all the workshops where analog, during the Corona crisis, all the workshops needed to be done digitally. Analog workshops are not always possible. Digital workshops are not always working. How will the future normality look like? How can we do hybrid workshops?
The hybrid world of Trihow combines ease of use and haptics from the sensory, analog world with the editability and reusability of the efficient digital world.
 
If you are interested in offering a Bachelor or master thesis in the area of Business Engineering, in particular in product management, innovation or hybrid spaces, please contact me.
