EP#27 Reducing Friction with Human Centred Design. With guest Kim Tuohy.
Manage episode 411734713 series 3469724
When looking for solutions to friction, are we just overlooking the obvious? If we design work around the humans, if we communicate better and if we show more empathy, surely we can remove some of the unwanted friction we face? Humans are vital for the running and development of our workplaces, and creating friction free workplaces from a place of love, even in disagreement is our guest's focus.
We are joined by the incredible Kim Tuohy, who runs Belvista Studios. Kim shares her thoughts and experiences when implementing human-centred design both for big businesses and with her own team. This episode is one of love and kindness, which offers a new lens for the Learning From The Edges research.
Be sure to listen out for Kim's PAUSE framework that helps us to be more aware and less emotional in our reactions:
Pause for an opportunity
Assess what's happening
Understand the true reality
See a better way
Experiment for a better outcome
Then pause again.

And finally, we are now coming to the end of our year-long research, or are we? Do you have a story about friction at work which needs to be shared? Do you have a new lens we have not looked through? Get in touch and let's talk!
