Posted on by Andrea Simon

 

Fifth episode of Ask Andi

Here is the 5th episode of my Ask Andi series—short 15 minute podcasts every Friday where I take a question and then offer tools, tips and strategies to help you re-think an issue and tackle it in new ways. In today’s episode, I talk about how the tools and methods of anthropology can help companies make necessary changes so they can successfully adapt to changing times.

In this episode, I discuss:

  • Corporate anthropology
  • Being aware of the changes that are happening in the healthcare industry
  • Consulting at an organization that was losing money and clients 
  • Strategic importance of ‘outside-in’ thinking
  • Innovation Games
  • Creativity lessons—coming up with an interesting solution that changed everything
  • How anthropology can bring massive ROI
