The Insightful Innovator with Danny Seals

Want to know how to level up your employee experience using design thinking? Want a no-nonsense approach to designing people-centred products, services, and experience? Well, Danny Seals has written the book on these and tells us all about it in this episode.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Levelling up your employee experience has never been more important.
Examine the problem properly, don´t simply go with what you think the issue is. Use the ladder technique that Danny shares in this episode.
People need to stop simply looking at how things are and focus on what could be e.g., instead of delivering an off-the-shelf leadership programme, challenge the fundamental DNA of leadership.
You need to be creative, and genuinely open-minded to look at what could be.
Make the implicit explicit. Be open and have those difficult conversations early.
The businesses that retain their workers, design for the human. Their systems and processes equip their people to succeed.
Create experiments that can be conducted within the flow of work to evaluate things and hone your design.

BEST MOMENTS
'Make work better by good design.'
'Work in transparency.'
'If you don´t add that human at the centre of everything you do, who are you really designing for.'
