IDEO CoLab

We love a good podcast. Especially one about one of our favorite subjects!

“If we can get people to reflect on how to make things better, we may see more permanent changes.” @joannekcheung of @ideocolab speaks with active living expert Jim Sallis of @UCSanDiego about rediscovering what’s close to home for health and happiness: link.medium.com/hgTft2FLkbb

Social distancing doesn’t mean we can’t learn to be in touch with ourselves and with the world. @joannekcheung speaks with Paul Haller of @sfzc to put 2020 in the context of a thousand-year Zen tradition and explore the spiritual underpinnings of health: link.medium.com/EKnzaDFWabb

We’re so excited that our friends at @ProjectDrawdown launched Drawdown Labs today! With collaboration at our core, we can’t wait to see such a great group of climate-leading organizations work together, and to be part of it ourselves! drawdown.org/programs/drawd…

To learn about a community’s everyday health, we can start by listening to public, online conversations. @joannekcheung and @ideo’s @SamSpotsTime explore how natural language processing helps build empathy at scale. #design #health #covid19 #datascience ideo.in/datascienceand…

We tend to define health as a relationship with ourselves; yet, it's almost impossible to be healthy in an unhealthy world. @evaughanlee of @emergence_zine and @joannekcheung discuss how storytelling shapes culture. #health #storytelling #design #covid19 ideo.in/cultureandheal…

Last month, we worked on systemic challenges facing food supply chains, dietary choices, and more during our #circulareconomy sprint. Learn more about this exciting week of collaboration from the people who brought it to life: ideo.in/cefoodjunespri… #food #design

“As health professionals, many of us have been apologizing for a decade…’Please have the thing that tastes worse because of health.’ Now, there’s no apologizing. I say, “I have got this global fusion dish… it’s gonna blow your taste buds away” ideo.in/foodandhealth

Developing #futureofwork policies that are driven by #empathy & #prototyping is more important now than ever. One year ago today, ⁦@ideocolab ⁦@Stanford_Cyber⁩ & ⁦@hks_digital⁩’s makeathon refined methods we shared #opensource here: linkedin.com/pulse/urgent-n…

In #Covid-19 we talk about Health with a capital "H"—a measurement of survival. Yet, everyday we take steps in small "h" health. Starting here, even the most unexpected moments can help us thrive, not just survive: ideo.in/NatureHealth #health #nature #design

Join us today at 11am PT/2pm EST for a conversation on Reshaping Markets + Industries! We'll be tackling the fluid future of work as everyday norms change around us ideo.in/reshapingmarke… #futureofwork #remotework #design

As the world redefines business as usual, we have the chance to prototype future policies. Together with @hks_digital we held a #futureofwork Policy Prototyping Makeathon last summer. We're thrilled to share this new approach to building. Read more below!

I'll be doing an online seminar with @usebraintrust and @IdeoCoLab tomorrow: zoom.us/webinar/regist…

This Thursday we'll host the final in our "design from anywhere" series: how markets + industries are being reshaped right now. Excited to have our Creative Director from @ideocolab alongside Matt Mullenweg + Tessa Forshaw. Join us: bit.ly/3bSsWTB

We're hosting a deep dive tomorrow into the best of what we've learned about remote design sprints and product builds. Join @ideocolab + @usebraintrust + innovation leaders from Deloitte + BCBSMA. We're also keen to hear/ answer your questions! Sign up via bit.ly/2Tn2Txj

Got the #WFH basics covered? Our @IDEOVC portfolio company @usebraintrust has unpacked advanced strategies for thriving #remotework. Explore company culture, long-term collaboration strategies, and proven communication tactics in their new guide: ideo.in/braintrustremo…

I recently teamed up with @InnoLead and other experts to see how the quality and breadth of user research is affected during house arrest. See what @MadPow, @mithackmed and @ideocolab had to say. Thank you to @ScottKirsner @freddytn, @AmyHeymans and @mattwww for the help!

During #COVID-19, the insurance industry has an opportunity to rethink its role in supporting people—even when people aren’t filing claims. We chatted with @CSAAInsuranceGp to discuss what these signals could mean for the future of insurance: bit.ly/2XUkAY7

Climate change (and the resulting crisis) raises so many questions and provides so few obvious answers that we’re starting exactly there: with the questions that #ClimateChange raises for us as designers. Here's a peek at what we're asking as we dive in. ideo.in/colabclimatequ…

What goes into the research behind creating a prototype? Tonight we’re learning about design research - step 2 of the the de.Hackathon process - with @bruno_olmq & @ohmygong of @ideocolab.
