"Vaughan facilitated two days of design thinking for public sector management with government officials from Malaysia. The group greatly appreciated the interactive nature of the program combined with the opportunity to think and reflect on how the practices and skills developed would benefit the public sector and challenges with which they are grappling. Thanks Vaughan, hopefully we can repeat this next year."

We would not hesitate to use Vaughan again in the future.”

“Vaughan was a guest speaker for my undergraduate level innovation class. His talk was informative and engaging. There was a lot of practical advice for the students about the design thinking/innovation process, the challenges and how design thinking can be used in the health sector. The students’ feedback also shows that Vaughan’s talk helped them to gain a deeper understanding.”
