Design Thinking and Innovation Practice: Operating Across the Boundary
George White -
Chief Innovation Officer,
Cantina
Change and transformation are major concerns and drivers for organizations. Adopting new practices and processes to achieve business goals has always been a part of the business. But now, there's increased pressure and desire to bring in new methods to respond to market-, customer-, and internal business needs.Design thinking and innovation practices are two ways that businesses are attempting to disrupt their patterns and unlock creativity to create new and novel solutions. While they have some shared goals, these two realms do not always mesh cleanly.In this talk, George White, Chief Innovation Officer at Cantina, will highlight where design thinking and innovation practice diverge, where they overlap, and how you can leverage both to build an organization that is flexible, creative, and innovative.

Let Your Users Do the Talking: How to Scale Empathy Across Your Organization with Customer Video
The most effective way to get buy-in for UX research findings is to cultivate empathy for your customer’s experience. But how do you make the business case for empathy in such a fast-moving, physically-disconnected world? When design research reports go unread and tight timelines hinder other traditional methods, we need to bring customer stories to stakeholders in a more compact-yet-compelling way to inspire empathetic action.
Join Reduct.Video founder and CEO Prabhas Pokharel as he shares stories of how using video has helped design researchers inspire more empathy across the organization and effectively drive customer-centric change.
