In this Talent Tales episode, talent.imperative Founder Nicole Dessain had the honor to interview Stella Ioannidou, IT Workforce Management Lead at Eurobank.
Stella’s creative superpower is applying the concept of analogy. She often draws from another context to gain inspiration for the current problem she is trying to solve.
After having worked a decade in project management, Stella recognized that what set apart good projects was how people were engaged in the process. She started to include some coaching practices into project management. Stella then realized that it was even more important to engage people in a cultural context overall instead just on a project. That realization sparked her interest in learning more about how people perform, what makes them tick, and what skills they need to succeed.
In this Talent Tales episode, talent.imperative Founder Nicole Dessain had the honor to interview Danielle Crane, Chief Talent Officer at GreenPath.
Danielle’s creative superpower is connecting humans and ideas.
Danielle describes herself as “the girl who almost didn’t enter HR”. She quit her first HR internship after 48 hours. Her career counsellor challenged her to try for another internship and encouraged her to help design what HR might be versus the reactive function she initially experienced.
Danielle was first exposed to design thinking by her CEO who had used it previously and brought it with her when she joined GreenPath. Danielle was intrigued by how she might apply this method for complex problem solving with her internal customers – leaders and employees.
In her own practice, Danielle combines design thinking with behavioral economics principles when designing HR programs at GreenPath.
In this Talent Tales episode, talent.imperative Founder Nicole Dessain shares ten design thinking resources and hacks she learned from past Talent Tales guests.
