Building incredible design teams is difficult. It's even more challenging when your company, the local industry and education system doesn't yet recognise the design discipline you're hiring for. Who are the right people? How do you find them? How do you build the skills they need to succeed? And how do you do it again the next time a new discipline emerges. Distilled from 10 years of learnings from introducing design thinking, service design, content design and behavioural design into social impact organisations - this talk will share tips for managers, designers and soon-to-be-designers about to join their first design team
