Episode 39 - Life by Design: Leading & Learning with Self-Belief

This episode is sponsored by Davwill Consulting Inc. Are you ready to master your self-care? Philippe Guichard with a zest of French flair, Philippe helps serial entrepreneurs with their ideas and reveal them into profitable products that sell. Do you have a great idea but you’re not sure where to start? Does your product or design strategy need refreshing? Need a guest speaker who’s passionate about innovation at your next event? Philippe Guichard can help you turn your innovative idea into a highly desirable and profitable product. During 25 years as an award-winning international industrial designer, he has helped his clients generate over $200 million dollars in revenue. I love learning about businesses and what they want to achieve. As a holistic designer, he recognizes that an innovative product is only part of a successful business story. He specializes in designing thoughtful and profitable products that form part of integrated marketing, engineering, manufacturing, and business model solutions. “Good business by design” When Philippe works with your business, he thoroughly researches your customers’ experience, distribution channels, marketing strategy, manufacturing process, business model, and value proposition in order to design (or re-design) a product that is the best choice for your business — the ‘sweet spot’. He will investigate what works, and what doesn’t. Where he needs to, I will challenge your thinking with fairness, openness, and honesty. We’ll work together to create a product that delivers increased sales and has a value proposition that benefits all of your product’s stakeholders — not just the end customer. “Planet, people, profit”: A new world of innovation For almost two years, Philippe has been guest speaking where I share my design experience and case studies with business and industry leaders, as well as young designers. As a passionate innovation, environmental and social advocate, he also enjoys speaking about the critical role that thoughtful industrial design, manufacturing, and business models will play in a challenging future.
