Listen now as Deepa Prahalad shows us how to solve complex problems innovatively!
We had the pleasure of meeting
Deepa Prahalad through a chance meeting in Healdsburg, CA. Were we
lucky! Not only is Deepa an internationally acclaimed
consultant, innovation leader and design strategist, she
co-authored the book "Predictable Magic: Unleash the Power
of Design Strategy to Transform your
Business," acclaimed
by Fast Company in 2010 as one of the Best Design Books
of the Year. Deepa really understands something that is very
important to us—namely, how to convert observation into
innovations. Design strategy is just that: a way to see things with
fresh eyes. Now you understand why Deepa is right up our ally. Take
a listen!
A thinker, a strategist and a global citizen
Ranked #34 on the Thinkers50 India
list, Deepa is part of Marshall Goldsmith’s legacy project 100
Coaches, and is certified in Goldsmith’s Stakeholder Centered
Coaching.
In today's podcast, Deepa shares with us how she has developed her unique approaches to design and then applied them in all types of different contexts. Having worked with leading companies, business schools and conferences around the world, she is passionate about helping communities in emerging markets solve complex problems innovatively.
Like her father, CK Prahalad, Deepa is
very concerned with how to provide food and services to society's
poorest people through innovative solutions, not just charitable
contributions.
