[UPDATE: This is now called “High Res Podcast”] Weaponize Design, a new Podcast for Designers

In early 2017, Jared Erondu and I will bring you Weaponize Design, a limited-series video podcast on design, leadership and design-thinking.

We’re filming 25 episodes with 25 masters of the industry. These episodes will result in around 1000 minutes of programming―that’s the size of a good audiobook.

We anticipate this to be one of the strongest lineups of design leaders on a single podcast and we hope that by the end of it, you’ll walk away with clear ideas on:

1. How to discuss the function and value of design, within your organization, with non-designers and business leaders in order to drive investment in people and process.
2. How to instill a design culture in your business through small experiments that drive results.
3. How to include stakeholders in your design process and progress.
4. How to generate confidence in your team and others as they engage problems using the design process.
