Okay, here’s a thought experiment.

Let’s move away for a moment from thinking about designing the next service that’s delivered through a fancy mobile app…

What if you had to design service that literally help to save children's lives?

And you have to do it in a low tech environment with very limited resources.

While at the same time managing traditional stakeholders with their own perspective on the desired solution.

Sounds impossible? Well that’s what Gonzalo Rodion and Phearak Mak are up against every day.

In this episode you’ll learn how they do it. How they successfully design solutions that are embraced by the end users in this challenging context.

I know that at first this might sound like a very distant world from your reality. Especially if you’re in a corporate environment.

But trust me at the end of the episode you’ll be surprised by just how many similarities there are.

If anything the stories Gonzalo and Phearak share helped me to get out of the design bubble we sometimes tend to get caught in.
