IDEO Futures

On Episode 14 of the IDEO Futures Podcast we are honored to welcome David Kelley as our guest. David is the founder of IDEO and also the visionary behind the creation of the groundbreaking d.school at Stanford, the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design. We hope you enjoy our interview with David, in which we talk about his life experiences as a serial entrepreneur. David is quite rightfully renowned for creating IDEO and the d.school, but did you know that he's also created a slew of other successful ventures? Listen to hear his insights on what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur. And also what it means to pursue a full and happy life. Here's a video of David's TED Talk on Creative Confidence: https://youtu.be/16p9YRF0l-g We also look at the state of our Future Design Themes for 2015, specifically the Future of Trust and Transactions. Joe gives an update on his 10 days of swimming in the world of Bitcoin and blockchain at MIT and Harvard. Our weekly look at Venture Design that Blows our Minds (VDTBOM) focuses on Hoffice, a completely different way to think about "working from home". It's probably the most interesting approach to group synchronicity and work dynamics since Asterix in Switzerland. In terms of Hacking Creativity and Design, Hoffice is a provocation that must be taken seriously. How might we use rituals in the workplace to make us more productive, happy, and healthy? Plus, in all of your 15 minute breaks, you and your co-workers for the day can take advantage of this amazing exercise video, which is a favorite in the Hoffice community: https://youtu.be/LezARmLDu6U Like what you've heard?
