Become a Design Thinker

Dr. Wallace

In Become a Design Thinker Podcast, we will explore life reinvention stories in different contexts from the perspective of Design Thinking, and see how the lessons learnt from these stories can be applied in our daily work and life. Design thinking is the designers’ mindset in the design process – how they discover the root problems and test possible solutions to keep making improvements. We will be uploading new episodes every two weeks. Our goal is to empower you with this design-thinking mindset so that you can reinvent your work and life by design.  "Become a Design Thinker" is your decision to step out for a change and to become who you aspire to be.

    Design Your Exploration Journey to Discover Your Adjacent Possibilities

    Design Your Second Act This is a theme that describes our personal growth across the 4 regions: Comfort Zone. In this zone, we have to fight against our stronghold to create a breakthrough.  Exploration Zone,  where we identify and transform our capability assets to forage the adjacent possibilities.  Becoming Zone, where we are prototyping our new possible personas Significance Zone, where we serve to multiply our impact.  Your Second act needs to be designed well. But your second act is not the second half of your life. It is your life beyond the moment you decided to make a change for a better future than today, no matter how old you are. It's the last episode of the second quarter. Before we move on to the next zone, the Becoming Zone, in the next quarter, let's do a recap of what we have discussed in this quarter, the Exploration Zone.  Our strategies are: We transform our knowledge into our competitive edge. We transplant and transcend our skills to expand our capability asset. We translate our experience and tell our transformational story. We design our experiment to create a network that thrives.

    Design Your Experiment to Create a Network That Thrives

    A good network will provide the necessary knowledge and support in our daily work or long-term goals. They can be someone who can give us good advice, share successful or unsuccessful experiences, and provide a safety net for us to fail small and fast. If we can build our network wisely, our network will make you thrive.

    Translate Your Experience and Tell Your Transformational Story

    Our experience is so important, especially if you want to elevate your work to a higher level or move to a new working environment. The problem is, how can we recognize our experience instead of a list of companies' names, positions, and no. of years? And how can we let our co-worker know what our experience is?

    The ME Stronghold: Kill Your Old Self to Change

    Our old self is our biggest enemy to fight against if we decide to depart from our comfort zone.  We strongly believe our previous success is built on our belief system that drives our daily decision-making process. We used to believe that we had made the best choice. Although we may sometimes regret it, we still believe that our own mind is our best partner to make decisions for us. Our ME stronghold is standing behind us, no matter how hard we want to move forward, it either holds us back or pushes us to an undesirable decision.  What are these ME-strongholds?  Download the AI Prompts: https://become-a-design-thinker.kit.com/design-your-second-act We are deeply grateful if you could take a moment to share your thoughts, ideas, or feedback with us.
