I'm thrilled to share that I've joined Fierce's leadership team to play a role in shaping and growing the London based design agency, working closely with Fearless Talent and Fearless's Community of 7k+ designers from around the world. Massively excited!

Execution environments are designed to be fail-safe. Innovation environments are designed to be safe-to-fail.
Over the years I’ve had to continuously flex and adapt to ever changing conditions, whether as part of learning my way through two successive acquisitions where we grew from an agency of 50 to 250, and then into a global organisation of well over 250,000! #change
Despite the challenges and times where I felt displaced and uncomfortable, I’ve learned so much! This has led me to value even greater depths of empathy for people, teams and conditions within which they operate - which in turn has led to greater levels of resilience and insight.
If any of this sounds even remotely like you, do check out Malcolm Gladwell's take on Network vs. Hierarchy which could be an eye opener and where he suggests that such #change may be down to a generational shift in perspective. Enjoy! business.adobe.com/summit/20…
Top vibes off the back of giving a talk this morning to students @hyperisland on the 'the value of measurement' as it relates to the #design of effective and successful digital Products and Services. Shout out to @juliaflora for arranging.

Have been at #sofaconf today and highly impressed by the speaker line up. Particularly want to call out @haroonaslam_ who spoke on Advanced Facilitation and Organizational Strategy. Clear, easy to understand, and highly considered. Well done! 👏🏻

These UX laws hit the spot, especially the rationale behind each one of them. A nice reference set for interaction designers! lawsofux.com

Excellent advice and analysis if ever there was some regarding levels of maturity across organisations as they adapt to remote working. 👌
