Today, I talk to Christine Ruf and Sebastian Stoddart about their move from design leadership to innovation consulting.
I made contact with them both while writing my article on the same topic, which in turn was prompted by a training programme I developed on what it takes for senior designers or design leaders to make the leap into innovation consulting.
03:37 Christine’s career path
07:03 Sebastian's career path
09:20 Motivations behind the shift to innovation consulting
16:43 Example consulting projects
27:38 Old and new skills
43:31 On the creativity of non-designers
