Bringing Design into organisations is hardly ever straight forward. It comes with its own unique set of problems.
We discuss with thought leaders around the world, what has worked for them in enabling a design revolution to occur.
Within our podcast, we specifically ask how might Design improve social and civic outcomes. We shine a light on Design in local council and Governments.

The Rise of the Autonomous Bus: A Look into the Future of Transit
In this episode I speak with Steven Russell, a service designer and now Innovation Manager at Stagecoach bus in the UK. We chat about autonomous buses - a project that Steven has been working on for quite some time. Now, no longer in the realms of movies like Back to the Future 2, it’s not too far away. How far I hear you ask? Well at some point this year, Edinburgh will hopefully become one of the first cities in the world to start rolling the service out in a R and D capacity.
We chat about all the ins and outs about the process, and discuss what the service might look like, potential service failures and other industry dependencies like insurance (who is responsible in the case of accidents) and also how to prepare society for visual of seeing a bus with people driving down the road, with no human driver at the wheel.
Note: Since recording the launch date for the autonomous bus service has been announced. It will open to the public on Monday, the 15th of May.
