2. Design for Belonging

IncludrPod

Over the past several months, we’ve all been wondering what the new normal will look like. One thing is for sure: the old way of doing things isn’t going to fly any longer. Our society is seeking new alternatives to create more equitable, diverse, and flexible work environments so that we can live amongst each other more comfortably, while prioritizing deep inclusion. In this episode of IncludrPod, Jeffrey sits down with Susie Wise, a leader, coach, educator and designer at the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford, also known as d.school. Susie is the mastermind behind Design for Belonging, a framework that supports building greater belonging and reducing “othering” in communities. During the episode, Jeffrey and Susie discuss the changing nature of the workplace today, and how we can design working environments that are more inclusive, empathetic and functional for our fast-paced modern lives.
