Inside the Box - The Innovator's Podcast by dorris: Recent Episodes
dorris - co-creating user-focused products with design-led methods
"Inside the Box by dorris" is your go-to podcast for innovative tools and methods to create more meaningful and user-centered products. Our founder and CEO Chris opens our toolbox and puts together an interactive session to enable you to host more enjoyable and effective meetings and workshops. Each episode has a different topic: from team-building to idea creation and prototyping, from problem-framing to solution building. To make our podcast even more actionable to our listeners, some episodes come with a Miro template you can use right-away.
This is part 2 of our Deep Dive „The perfect (remote) meeting“. We are introducing a process and all the tools you need to lead your next meeting to a successful outcome. Starting with good preparation using a tool called „IDOARRT“, then jumping right into your meeting topic with the Sailboat (or in Pär’s case, the Plane) exercise followed by an ideation session and developing an action plan at the end. This meeting outline can be used for a mass of different goals and issues. Take all or just some of our discussed methods and try it yourself. As a guideline, we have published a free Miro Board for you. Just grab it, listen to our latest episode and follow us along.

In the first episode of our new season „Inside the Box“ we introduce three great tools to build stronger teams and establish a trustful atmosphere in your company. Building upon our Workshop Format „The Team Resort“ we introduce you to the following tools:
#1 Checkin and Checkout [6.13]
When to use: at the beginning and the end of each meeting or workshop
What’s the purpose? Checking-in/out invites each team member to be present, seen, and heard. Checking-in emphasizes presence, focus, and group commitment; checking-out emphasizes reflection and closure.
Tool #2: Project Goals [13.03]
When to use: at the project’s kickoff.
What’s the purpose? This tool can help provide clarity about “what success looks like”; uncover hidden assumptions about activities, outcomes, success, and failure; and identify potential causes of failure. Get your team aligned towards the same goals!
Tool #3: I appreciate - a Feedback exercise [19.30]
When to use? Effective feedback given regualrly is one of the most important ingredients in building constructive relationships and strong teams
What’s the purpose? Feedback helps your team members gain a growth mindset. Feedback creates a culture that enable learning and growth, which results in improved engagement and productivity.

In this week’s podcast Pär is back and we dive right into a very spontaneous talk about how we can use design to solve complex business challenges. Inspired by an article in Harvard Business Review (https://hbr.org/2019/03/the-right-way-to-lead-design-thinking) we elaborate on the role of Leadership when introducing new thought models as Design Thinking or new processes as Design Sprints.
We discuss how a designer’s approach can help solve problems in order to build more successful and more meaningful products and services for our customers and what you as a Leader need to know to guide your teams along a new path.
