Hi, I'm Vaughan Broderick. I help business leaders, founders and teams become smarter human-centred innovators.
Don't take my word for it. Take a look at what some previous clients have to say...
"The experience was so positive and impactful for us that we have asked Vaughan back on numerous occasions to assist us with designing services. His expertise in design thinking coupled with an engaging personal style makes him a valued member of the team that is transforming our organisation."
"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."
"Vaughan was fantastic. He shed light into areas to develop our teams innovation capabilities, and provided useful information that we could apply right away. The session helped our head of business to progress the innovative changes we need."
"Our team struggled to align on our Purpose, Vision, and Values statements as we navigated growth and restructuring. Vaughan’s engaging workshops gave us a clear, shared direction, a stronger sense of cohesion, and a renewed commitment to working more collectively.
Since then, we’ve improved collaboration, and focused on accountability and success. Vaughan’s facilitation provided the foundation for a more cohesive and confident team."
"Vaughan has a nose for effective, value added change management. He has a perspective and lens that is uniquely adapted to seeing gaps others often don’t."
“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.”
"Vaughan's facilitation style involves group work and great practical tools. His Customer Discovery workshop generated many meaningful discussions among our participants.
Vaughan’s design thinking expertise has truly enabled our startup founders to better understand their customers' and take a step forward in their innovation journey."
“Vaughan has been an inspirational mentor and advisor to me. He shows decisive leadership with clear insight and guidance on innovation and design thinking. He is ready with strategic thinking and collaborative brainstorming. It has been an invaluable journey working with him!”
“Vaughan has great skills for putting people at ease during interviews and his approach provides valuable insights into the user experience. I’ve seen this in his consulting and highly recommend him as an effective design thinking practitioner.”
“Vaughan facilitated our value proposition workshop as we were at a loss as to how to get started. Vaughan skilfully challenged our thinking through a range of activities and questioning, and we left the workshops feeling a sense of clarity, newfound enthusiasm and collective understanding. We would not hesitate to use Vaughan again in the future.”
"Vaughan’s advice around design thinking, innovation and strategy provided direction when needed. Vaughan’s understanding and communication around customer-centric design were vital to the success of my commercialisation project."
“I loved working with Vaughan and truly appreciated his wonderful skills. He supported our work through Climate Action Week Marlborough to generate multiple ideas to address a complex problem, then prototype concepts and iterate towards a clear solution. If you need someone with the ability to facilitate a large, diverse group and get the outcomes you’re after, Vaughan has incredible skills, tools and resources to make this happen..”
