Introducing the Overlap Expert Series 💡

Each month, we're bringing our community together to introduce a new expert in our networks for a keynote and interactive workshop where we'll use design to collectively make sense of complex problems, ideas, and technologies.

First up: Using Design to Make Sense of AI

While AI may seem to cut humans out of the equation, we firmly believe that technology can be harnessed to empower people in sectors where human interaction is vital. By leveraging human-centered design, we can unlock new ways of working, enhance creativity, and instill confidence in our next steps.

On July 18th, we'll be joined by AI expert Dr. Trystan Goetze (they/he/she), a professional philosopher, writer, Cornell University educator, and game designer as we explore the ethics and implications of AI, together.

Read on for a few strategies we use at Overlap to amplify each individual voice to facilitate a process of coming up with our best ideas as a group.

What kinds of strategies have you found benefit your group ideation exercises most? How do you ensure all voices and ideas are heard?
