UX Sheffield - 'Design Thinking Dad' with Paul Bailey
'Design Thinking Dad' - Why I take my work home (and you should too)
Over the last few years, Design Thinking Dad (DTD) has been on a transformational personal journey — from a 'Digital Designer' trapped by waterfall delivery, to a 'Design Thinker' working in a fast-paced Enterprise Agile environment.
In this talk, he'll share what he’s learned and show how – armed with only an abundant supply of post-it notes – he's using Design Thinking at work to empower creative teams and in his personal life to tackle the everyday challenges of being a parent.
This talk will help you to...
– generate fresh ideas to your everyday challenges
– avoid living in ‘default’ mode
– understand what ‘human skills’ you’ll need to ‘robot-proof’ your career
And perhaps most importantly, he’ll share ‘5 top Design Thinking tricks’ that will help you survive lock-down 2.0 without losing the plot!
You don’t have to be a Dad or even a parent to enjoy this talk...
DTD will share practical Design Thinking mindsets and methods that anyone can use to lead a more meaningful, creative and joy filled life (it just so happens that his biggest pain-points usually involve his kids!)
He’s been designing digital products and services for over 20 years and has created innovative solutions for some of the UK’s largest organisations and government departments.
A self-confessed Typothermiac and a bit of a geek, when not thinking about human-centred design he spends his time coming up with ingenious ways to entertain his kids whilst robot proofing them for the 4th Industrial revolution.
