We are excited to announce our EP60 featuring Brittany Arthur, Co-founder & Director of Design Thinking Japan & Business Karaoke Podcast. With Brittany, we dive into the connection between culture and innovation. We learn how design as facilitation can foster business innovation and growth and where Brittany saw people's life change to create problem-solving. Further, we dig into how design thinking can break company structure hierarchies and bridge cultural differences. She also shares how to measure the impact of design facilitation and how to leverage the digital layer on a hybrid world of digital-physical facilitation. During the episode we explore: How do you evaluate if a workshop or design thinking session was a success? How do you ensure your projects have an impact and not get "lost in the transition to implementation". How do you ensure facilitation has a long-term impact on your work/workshops. The design and innovation culture in Japan and how it differs to other regions in the world? How the right facilitation can bridges cultures and bring people together. Best practices in design facilitation How to keep the alignment with the business vision and strategy, but still foster positive transformation How to navigate design facilitation in a hybrid world of physical and digital sessions Thanks a lot for your time and for learning Brittany!
