Bringing Design Closer

Hello and welcome to Bringing Design Closer. Our goal is to have conversations that inspire and to help move the dial forward for organisations to become more human-centred in their approach to solving complex business and societal problems.
In this episode I chat with Dee Seaver from Philips about the role of the Service Design function within organisations and the interconnectedness towards how academia prepares designers towards either agency or in-house practice. It may seem like a small nuance, but it’s a really interesting conversation to have and reflect.
It’s a good episode and hope you enjoy it.
Also, thank you so much to everyone who has been leaving so many wonderful reviews for the podcast. I recently checked and saw lots of reviews trickling in from across the internet. If you like what we do, leave a review wherever you are listening…it helps me out and helps others find the podcast too!

What is Bringing Design Closer ?

Bringing Design into organisations is hardly ever straight forward. It comes with its own unique set of problems.

We discuss with thought leaders around the world, what has worked for them in enabling a design revolution to occur.

Within our podcast, we specifically ask how might Design improve social and civic outcomes. We shine a light on Design in local council and Governments.
