Welcome to another episode of the Human Centered Design Podcast, this time with someone I hold in the highest regards for their contribution to the world of design. It's Dave Gray, co author of Gamestorming, and author of The Connected Company, and one of my favourite all time books, not just design books, Liminal Thinking. Now this episode was really open and free flowing, mainly because I think it was recorded quite late in the night for me, so we discussed lots of topics. Different topics, but mainly going to cover off some of the main points here. We talk about the power of drawing and visualisation, the influence of belief systems on reality, and the importance of finding common ground with those that we're working with. Dave shares his insights on facilitating workshops and encouraging active participation, something many of us are really struggling with. As well as nurturing creativity and challenging beliefs. This conversation really highlights the need for trust and open mindedness. How do we get that in order to drive meaningful change? Dave also discusses his experience and how he got his first break, really creating infographics for newspapers, and then teaching others
