0119. Unleashing Innovation Through the Power of Simplicity with Lisa Bodell
In this episode of Lean by Design, we’re joined by Lisa Bodell, CEO of FutureThink, to unpack a counterintuitive truth: complexity is innovation’s worst enemy. From her days in advertising to her role as a simplicity guru in biopharma, Lisa shares a journey fueled by one mission—cutting through the noise to make work... actually work.
Together, we get real about the meeting marathons, inbox floods, and busyness obsession that cloud judgment and strangle creativity. Lisa doesn’t just talk big ideas—she's here with tools and strategies, inspired by a "Marie Kondo" for the workplace approach, focusing on "killing stupid rules" and decluttering processes to create real impact and boost morale. It's about balancing people, process, and technology to make every minute matter and every task count.
And if you’re leading a team or growing a new company, here’s where it gets practical. Lisa shares her "You Me We" method to help leaders ditch ambiguity, clarify roles, and clear the path for true innovation. It’s time to go beyond the ping-pong tables and snack bars, finding purpose in work that drives the team forward.
