TEDx Macatawa 2015 Session 2b: Kevin Budelmann & Yang Kim, Business is Personal

Kevin BudelmannYang Kim- co-owners of  People Design http://www.peopledesign.com/ - work together as a married couple - “industrialization has led to compartmentalization” - people aren’t cars, we aren’t machines, people are people - making connections and seeing patterns is the hallmark of this emergent era - People Design is a business is based on user-centeredness and collaboration - Collaboration, like a marriage, is more than cooperation…it requires: - thinking alike - thinking different - taking turns (it is really hard to create and edit your own work) - You have to have your own voice and get out of your own way - Being vulnerable gets you and your team to “11” - “Our business is our pleasure” have fun at work - the coming era will require new skills and deeper collaboration - we will have to be vulnerable enough to have relationships - there is no such thing as good work for a bad client - business is personal
