Designer On Board

In 2016 Anne Stenros has been appointed as the very first Chief Design Officer (CDO) for the City of Helsinki. Two years later Helsinki actually is still among the first cities in the world to hire a CDO. Looking back Anne describes her experience more as one of a Chief Disruption Officer. In this episode she shares with us some of her challenges being a design leader inside a 40,000 people organization and shows us ways how a city can invite their citizens to participate.
