Welcome and thank you for checking in at The Inner Game of Change Podcast where I focus on exploring the multi layers of managing organisational change.

My guests cover a diverse number of critical topics to enable effective and sustainable change in the workplace.

My guest today is Patrick Link; The Editor and co-author of the Amazon bestseller The Design Thinking Playbook.

A professor and co-founder of the Trihow framework, Patrick is a wealth of practical knowledge and thought leadership in the area of Design Thinking.

I am grateful to have Patrick sharing his knowledge and insight with me today.

About Patrick (In His Own Words)

Editor of the two Amazon bestsellers "The Design Thinking Playbook" and "The Design Thinking Toolbook". Both books are available in German and many other languages.
Design Thinking is very well known, and many tools and templates are available, see. e.g. www.dt-toolbook.com/tools or www.leancanvas.ch
However, there is a gap between Design Thinking and agile development. Which are the key tools in this gap, often called "Lean Start-up"? I am looking for an exchange about this gap.
Before Covid-19 all the workshops where analog, during the Corona crisis, all the workshops needed to be done digitally. Analog workshops are not always possible. Digital workshops are not always working. How will the future normality look like? How can we do hybrid workshops?
The hybrid world of Trihow combines ease of use and haptics from the sensory, analog world with the editability and reusability of the efficient digital world.
If you are interested in offering a Bachelor or master thesis in the area of Business Engineering, in particular in product management, innovation or hybrid spaces, please contact me.

My guest today is Kylie Sinclair; Change Republic Co-Founder. Lifelong learner, tech passionate, and a fellow podcaster as well.

Through Change Republic, Kylie, together with her business partner Emily Walker have created a dedicated platform for Learning & Development teams to connect with freelance experts and enable more people to thrive in the digital age and as we navigate the gig economy.

About Kylie (In her own words)

Change Republic Co-Founder. Lifelong learner, tech passionate, podcaster at learning to thrive, resilience found by the ocean. I love being a part of creating great learning experiences that help businesses and the people in them flourish.
Emily and I also believe the gig economy is in full swing and contract/project work will continue to grow, but with this can also come uncertainty as job risk increases. We believe that if we can provide a dedicated platform for L&D teams to connect with freelance experts it will enable more people to thrive in the digital age and as we navigate the gig economy.
I am making a conscious choice to live life on my own terms. My dream scenario would be to create highly skilled and well paid jobs in our home towns, jobs that don't exist today. We would love to enrich the regional communities that have given us so much.
Beyond that I would like our business to evolve into a global learning community with great work is at its heart. My dream is that we can be a part of learning becoming a full multimedia experience, I call it gorgeous learning. I would love our community to be a source of inspiration for learning creators. A place where both the people and the work they do inspires others to create new and fabulous ways to engage learners.
