Closing the gap between business and design / Mauro Porcini / Episode #44

Are we as designers ready to take true ownership of innovation and accept all the responsibilities that this brings along? That's the major theme in this episode with Mauro Porcini who's the Chief Design Officer at PepsiCo. We also talk about what's needed to successfully bring in a new (design) culture into an existing organisation. A task which many have tried and failed. Mauro shares his most important lessons regarding this topic. And finally we discuss the characteristics of a "design thinker". Who are these people anyway?
