Kathleen Kelly Janus is the author of the new book, Social Startup Success. The book focuses on "...best practices for testing ideas, measuring impact, funding experimentation, leading collectively and storytelling with purpose."

Host Steve Boland talks to Kathleen about falling in love with fixing a problem rather than with a specific solution, measuring outputs vs. outcomes, testing and revising programs or interventions, design thinking in problem solving, and more.

Autodesk Foundation with Joe Speicher

Joe talks about the renewed work of the Foundation in design thinking, collaboration with other partners in this space, and the global impact of design on both physical assets and the cultures and people who use them.
