The Audio Community of Practice section of the show is where we answer YOUR most frequently asked and submitted questions. If you have a question for us to answer on air, please send it to podcast@scaledagile.com

The two questions we answer in this episode are:

  • How does design thinking help organizations unearth innovative solutions for problems that potential customers don’t even know they had?
  • A new concept in SAFe 5.0 – well, if not new, maybe called out in sharper focus – is the notion of Customer Centricity. It talks about designing with empathy. For someone who is not familiar with being empathetic, how would you recommend he or she start on this journey?
