We have three incredible guests, Anthony Quinn, Principal at Dynamic 4, Emma Jones, Managing Director at Future of Work, and Michelle Starr, Managing Director for GENEQ. This episode focusses on discussing all the different challenges faced for organisations and try and hack some of those and figure out why these problems still exist and where these challenges actually come from, and what the outcome is if we can actually manage to deal with them and make some positive change.

This is HCD is brought to you by Humana Design Kirsten Mann, VP Product and Experience at Aconex explains that organisations are not designed to value design. Instead, organisations are focused on short-term financial metrics instead of delivering great customer and business outcomes. To change the narrative and to help organisations see the value in design, product folks and designers need to continually engage the Executive team in conversation and demonstrate the value of design by solving broader business problems.

In this episode, we ask the big questions about human-centred design and large organizations. Why design teams alone, are not enough to become customer lead, and why we need to look at a sustainable way to scale human-centred design in organizations.

This is HCD is brought to you by Humana Design In this episode, we caught up with the wonderful Barbara Spanton from Ottawa in Canada. Barbara is a UX lead in Shopify and in this episode, Barbara is joined by Aman Braich, Principle designer for Intuit Australia, as well as Mark Catanzariti, service designer at Telstra. In today’s episode, we discuss the industry’s obsession with redesign. There seems to be a culture of throwing out existing designs rather than going back to perfect or tweak them. Today we explore why we do that, how to maybe stop doing that and what opportunities exist if we spend less time redesigning and throwing out perfectly good things. We take a look at how we can focus more on mindset rather than methodology, to build – or should we say re-furbish – a more sustainable design future. Take a listen! Key Points From This Episode: How Barbara got involved with human centered design. Disposable design: Why we throw out perfectly good things. Why should businesses care about disposable design? Suggesting alternatives to the business The obsession with metrics. Methodology versus mindset. How do we know if we are making a system better? Behind every merchant, there is a story. Barbara’s re-design stories from Central Bank. Ditching superiority complexes in the industry. Barbara’s advice for emerging HCD talent. And much more!
