Thank you for listening to this Ask Like a Designer episode of the Design Thinking 101 Podcast.  This episode continues where episode 89 on crafting transformation stories left off, and focuses on telling your solution’s transformation story. 

This episode is based on this article: ALD011 // Protect Your Solutions with Transformation Stories: Part 2 — Telling Well. Read the article and others like it on Fluid Hive’s Ask Like a Designer.

In these short Ask Like a Designer episodes on the Design Thinking 101 podcast, you’ll find new ways to explore the show’s stories and ideas about design-driven innovation. I’ll share methods, templates, and ideas that have worked in my practice in teaching.
