Using AI Without Losing Critical Thinking | Dani Chesson

In this episode of The Power of Design Podcast, Jack Ossa speaks with Dani Chesson, Founder & Director of Design Thinker Institute, about using design thinking to help leaders get unstuck.

Dani shares how a career that began in graphic design led her into banking, transformation, behavioral design, and organizational change. Together, they explore why successful change depends on understanding people, context, and the experience of adoption, not simply implementing a new framework or technology.

They also discuss how to use AI thoughtfully while preserving the critical thinking and human judgment that meaningful progress requires.
