We recorded a curious conversation with Greg Sherwin - a human-centered technology leader who helps solve complex systemic challenges through human flourishing and emergence. He also describes himself as an aspiring polymath who is energized by collaborating with deep experts of diverse fields to find uncommon solutions in integrative ways. Greg is the Senior Principal Engineer at farfetch, part of the Global faculty of Singularity University and on the Board of Advisors and an ambassador of the House of Beautiful Business. In this episode we talk about the humanness of feeling awkward and how leaning into this helps create space for creativity and calling out for all the good reasons why people make mistakes. We explore how to encourage experimentation and celebrate failure on organisational levels and what businesses could gain by adapting more of the unpredictable process of making art. Last but not least we touch on the scale-up challenge of start-ups and Greg shares a great tip on how to get the transformation wave started in your organisation.
