Designing for Worldview: Unconscious Bias Awareness

Categories: TAHRA Learning Lab

Presented by Ashley Philippsen
Leadership Tulsa

We all have unconscious bias. We are also all creative. A new set of tools offers an invitation to think differently about the design thinking learning experience.

The underlying thesis of ‘Design for Worldview’ -- that we all share an innate creativity even as we share innate, unconscious bias and our creativity can and should be leveraged to disrupt our biases -- presents an opportunity to think differently about both unconscious bias awareness and the introduction-to-design-thinking experience. We hope you will accept this invitation to make this an experience that works best for you, your team, your organization or even your family and friends.
