Simple solutions with major impact / Gonzalo & Phearak / Episode #112

Okay, here’s a thought experiment. Let’s move away for a moment from thinking about designing the next service that’s delivered through a fancy mobile app… What if you had to design service that literally help to save children's lives? And you have to do it in a low tech environment with very limited resources. While at the same time managing traditional stakeholders with their own perspective on the desired solution. Sounds impossible? Well that’s what Gonzalo Rodion and Phearak Mak are up against every day. In this episode you’ll learn how they do it. How they successfully design solutions that are embraced by the end users in this challenging context. I know that at first this might sound like a very distant world from your reality. Especially if you’re in a corporate environment. But trust me at the end of the episode you’ll be surprised by just how many similarities there are. If anything the stories Gonzalo and Phearak share helped me to get out of the design bubble we sometimes tend to get caught in. --- [ GUIDE ] -— 00:00 Welcome to episode 112 02:00 Who are Gonzalo & Phearak 04:00 What is IDE 05:45 60 seconds question rapid fire 08:30 The Innovation Lab 11:00 The challenges around social innovation 14:30 Designing social behaviour change 27:00 Obvious solutions 29:15 Finding the real problem 40:20 Making a meaningful impact 43:15 The lessons learned 46:00 Showing the value 49:20 Get in touch with Gonzalo & Phearak 50:50 Final thoughts --- [ LINKS ] --- * https://www.instagram.com/ideinnovationlab/ * https://www.facebook.com/ideinnovationlab * http://linkedin.com/company/ideinnovationlab * https://www.linkedin.com/in/gonzalo-rodino/ * https://www.linkedin.com/in/phearak-maksay-7a073b87/ --- [ MORE ] --- Enjoyed the show?
