Enterprises are behind many of the systems that run human life on our planet: government, healthcare, finance, big tech, you name it. Can we design them to be more useful for people, and more successful in creating a positive impact?

In this webinar, Milan and Bard talked about Enterprise Design, an emerging practice aiming to do just that. It requires going beyond the typical scope of design for better products or services, and instead focusing on the enterprise itself as both the environment to reshape and our material to design with. Milan and Bard take you to the core ideas of Enterprise Design: an approach for connecting customer-centred product and service development with the architectural changes required to deliver. Combining ingredients of Architectural and Design Thinking with applied Systems Design, Enterprise Design provides a holistic and systemic approach to help you deal with the challenges of innovation and transformation at enterprise scale.

I am a practitioner, coach and writer with a deep compassion for the human condition and a burning desire to help people live better lives, do better work and create a more sustainable and socially connected society in the process. I have a uniquely pragmatic approach to these challenges. I break complex concepts down into simple, compelling and powerful stories, frameworks and models. My keynotes and workshops give people practical tools and ways to take control of their own development. And my very personal style, sprinkled with humour, anecdotes and pearls of wisdom, engage and motivate audiences to see beyond the obvious and the limited, into a future in which anything is possible. Throughout 35+ years of working with organisations all over the planet I have helped individuals and organisations with maturing their awareness and mastery of their individual and collective emotional abilities; creating more inspiring and sustainable approaches to leadership and team development; and taking responsibility for the future evolution of their organisational cultures. I have authored and co-authored books on Machine Translation, Personal Development and Enterprise Design.
