Discovery Dialogue

Staying on top of AI's rapid developments can feel like a never-ending journey. In our latest Discover Dialogue episode, join Bas, Qin, and Ed as they explore how we navigate this exciting, yet exhausting, landscape through open experimentation. Discover how our small team of driven experimenters integrates AI into internal R&D, client projects, and even helps clients confidently experiment with AI within their own organisations.We'll share tangible examples and invaluable learnings from our

The rapid advancement of AI is stirring hopes and fears globally, presenting unprecedented opportunities and challenges. In this episode, Katy, a design researcher at Stby, and Bas, the creative director of Stby, discussed the critical role of design research in shaping AI's integration into society. Their conversation explored how design research can help create technology that is not only functional but also humane, equitable, and aligned with societal needs.They spoke about recent projects

Our slogan ‘design research for positive and meaningful change’ doesn’t just apply to improving the lives of humans but also improving the lives of non-human beings through the power of design. In this podcast, we spoke with Monish and Pranjal from CoolAnt, a life-centered design architectural product by Ant Studio in Delhi. CoolAnt's innovative designs harness the cooling properties of terracotta to create sustainable cooling systems that are more in-line with the planet. We speak with their team

In this podcast, we’re expanding our horizons beyond Stby and, together with the Reach Network—a global network of catalysts around the world—we reflect on the concept of impact measurement and evaluation.This idea has been brewing in our minds for a year now, and we were curious to explore it as practitioners working across diverse practices, topics, and geographies. We unpack the term impact measurement and evaluation, sharing insights and learnings from various projects that highlight how we

Jeanne and Paulien from Stby will explore strategies to enhance participant involvement, specifically in the public sector or government initiatives that revolve around neighbourhoods and communities. We discuss approaches and methods that would help us reach the next level of participant engagement in our research projects.

Understanding what makes for a successful collaboration is vital to achieving positive research outcomes in design research. We are all professional researchers, but sometimes, we have to be more than just researchers to achieve great collaborations. Today, Qin and Paulien from Stby are looking into three personal stories about what roles (other than a researcher) would help us reach the next level of design research collaboration.--- Key moments --- 00:00 Welcome to our first episode 00:46 Who
