One World in a New World with Brady Mick - Workplace Design Strategist

We take a deep dive into the sensemaking of design and strategy starting with reminiscing college days at Ball State University. Both of us had similar 'awakenings' that changed our outlook on life. Brady Mick is on sabbatical currently from strategic design and planning, having been a facilitator of process and workplace design.

His passion for co-creating cohesion in customer/vendor/production environments brought much sensemaking to his practice. Then a strange thing happen. He followed his gut feeling that he needed a change and left a leading education and workplace design and thought leadership firm. Although the workplace was a great experience, he felt there was still something more and took a leap of faith to find out.

Our chat explores the trending of organizational development that is springing from the archaic notions of the greats from the era of assembly and production. We explore the new(er) notions of sensemaking and emergence of real innovation in the co-creation of new agile systems within organizations.

Bringing the younger generation on board, Brady speaks to a surprising realization from observing his teenage son playing video games. Most of us are bereft of solutions for engaging teens beyond the gaming lifestyle they have today, often affecting school performance negatively. He sees something beyond that and you'll be pleasantly surprised at the re-framing.

This was a most enjoyable conversation that you'll enjoy, a real-life exploration of things that matter to all of us from personal growth to family to building community. What really is the 'age of enlightenment' as it relates to the evolution of humanity now? Are we moving into, as Brady calls it, the 'age of intuition.'

From Brady... I am designing my future. In this new reality, I imagine that:
“Status quo” is a creative challenge
Divergent and new ideas are welcome
Work process is for people to produce results in a positive experience
Purposeful design requires deep thinking
Teams are built on a strengths-based philosophy
Innovation is valued as equal to collaboration
Learning is currency
The future has meaning and purpose.

Zen is a rare spirit in pursuit of the higher value understanding we all need to thrive. Zen moves with confidence and insight thought the ethereal and the practical to achieve actionable knowledge. Zen had read widely in the plethora of thought offered to each of us, and has thought deeply about the meaning, value and beauty of what he has discovered. What a joy to work with him to build wisdom; the type of wisdom that brings pleasure to the struggles often faced in a business life. I recommend connecting with Zen and participating in his passion for connecting us to the next level evolution/revolution in our culture.
