Global L&D Leader at Conduent(Formerly Xerox Business Services)
Krishnan conducted a unique workshop on 'Design Thinking for Results' for a group of 20+ people in my organization as part of an innovation initiative called 3i Hub ( Innovate, Implement, Impact). lt was unique in the sense that it was a culmination phase of the initiative which started with 60 + innovative ideas and business cases that went through several cycles of review and rework. Best 6 were selected for the workshop which went through a rigorous ideation and validation phase through design thinking framework. Krishnan was fantastic not only as a facilitator / trainer but also was able to quickly relate to the context and taylor the workshop to our needs. He provided pertinent feedback to participants throughout the journey and they benefited immensely. Our organization's objectives were more than met! Thanks a lot Krishnan!!!!.

I attended a workshop on the topic of Innovating in a Complex Environment this week ( 3 days workshop ) lead by Dr Krishnan. Really loved this program , the framework and business canvas modelling it demonstrates is pretty good from both business as well from a human-centered thinking standpoint. Kudos to Dr.Krishnan for delivering it so very well , made it very interactive with a lot of positive insightful comments. Design Thinking is a problem-solving approach that uses a combination of empathy, creativity, and analysis to tackle unique problems. Why Design Thinking ? Solutions are there, but do we have the right problem Design thinking is about “ Problem Discovery” through Empathy Design thinking is about designing experiences 4 tenets of Design Thinking Human centered (Empathy) Bias for Experimentation (Prototyping) Iterative Process Cross Functional Teams And the final day Business Model Canvas based pitch to Influencers / Decision Maker audience was insightful as well. Net – net , Innovation for a problem solving is seen from a different view in this course & the end solution comes out really very different ( the way we perceive a problem , ideation , sensemaking and choreography ( solution ) ) , makes a lot of difference. And the way it is taught also makes a lot of difference , superb delivery by Dr.Krishnan , looking fwd for more such sessions by him !!.

I worked with Dr Krishnan, or “Krish” as he is widely known, during a critical initiative to develop and evolve the sales capability in the organization. Dr. Krishnan’s ability to diagnose the situation and translate the strategic requirements into learning/coaching outcomes through facilitated workshops is very effective. His background as a sasoned and savvy business leader was very useful to drive real value with senior participants. Highly recommended !!.
