Reason to Hope: The Power of Design Thinking in DEI

This week, I’m speaking with Nicole Dessain, who is the founder and Chief Employee Experience Designer of talent.imperative inc, an award-winning employee experience design consultancy. talent.imperative inc uses the power of design thinking to make organizations more people-centric. They are trusted by notable corporations like Apple, McDonald’s, and Ford, and have been featured in the Chicago Tribune and HuffPost. Nicole is also the founder of DisruptHR Chicago, and HR.Hackathon. She joins me today to share insights about how companies and HR can benefit from design thinking. One such insight is that a lack of diversity and inclusivity on a planning team can lessen the impact of the initiatives being planned.
