Had the pleasure to host a IDEO’s team in my office. They were on assignment from the UAE to give them a brief on the UAE startup ecosystem and to discuss various solutions to potential grand challenges.
There was great exchange of ideas and brainstorming that led to a great couple hours of learning on all sides. Was later invited to engage in a Design Thinking Workshop they were conducting as part of their assignment in the UAE, which was rather eye-opening as the participants were a mix of expats and Emiratis sharing their views on UAE’s innovative ambitions.
