Show Notes Chapter Markers

Season 1 - Episode 8
My guest today is David Dunne, author of Design Thinking at Work.
A seasoned strategist and marketer, David has worked with global brands such as Unilever, Sunlight and Dove. He is an award-winning educator, professor and director of the MBA programs at the Gustavson School of Business at the University of Victoria & senior lecturer at the Rotman School of Management.

Design Thinking at Work is the result of  years of research on how Design Thinking has been implemented in companies. Through case studies, we discover which were successful, which weren't and why. David Dunne's book is pure solace for innovators struggling to land co-creative initiatives in their organisation because of status quo and politics.
A must-read!
