How to Use Design to Improve Organizational Culture - Jon Kolko

In Chapter 12 of 17 in his 2011 Capture Your Flag interview with host Erik Michielsen, designer and educator Jon Kolko shares how his corporate interaction design client work has taught him how to build organizational culture. In his current role at venture accelerator Thinktiv, Kolko learns to structure organizational values while structuring service or product values. At frog design, he learns design artifacts such as websites or iPhone apps would become political tools in an organization. Kolko is the executive director of design strategy at venture accelerator, Thinktiv (www.thinktiv.com). He is the founder and director of the Austin School for Design (www.ac4d.com). Previously, he worked at frog design and was a professor of Interactive and Industrial Design at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). He has authored multiple books on design. Kolko earned his Masters in Human Computer Interaction (MHI) and BFA in Design from Carnegie Mellon University.
