#30 | Nick Cochran | Driving and growing design within organisations

Designdrives

In episode 30 I talk with Nick Cochran, Design Strategy Manager at ExxonMobil.

During UX India we sat together and exchanged over his experiences building and growing internal design communities, resources and culture for many years. We tap into

his experience transitioning from a technical IT role into the design and being part of day one of design within the organization

why and how to evangelize a design-mindest within an organisation and how he helped to establish a internal design culture

how to pull in other departments into design practices and methods and empower other teams to use the same methods - building bridges with other departments

how to grow a design community, methods, processes within an organisation and built out the infrastructure that empowers the design team to drive impact

how to communicate design value to other teams and what it can deliver to the business and the products

This episode is in collaboration with uxindiaconf (ux-india.org) UX INDIA. More episodes from the UX India (and soon IXDA Interaction 20) are on the way.
