Barbara talks with Dr. Alessandro Inversini at the Institute of Customer Experience Management of Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne.
The message is that we need to adopt an experience mindset. Experiences do not necessarily require infrastructures. Instead, it is the ‘mindset’ that every employee can be trained with. By consciously and intentionally designing each moment, businesses can go beyond their usual offerings and create positive moments, surprise elements and long-term memories for their customers.

Barbara talks with Elena Rodriguez Blanco on her Podcast ReDesign Travel + Life on ‘Grounded Liminality’.
The message is that we can intentionally design for experiences and human transformation. We talk about how we can design for space-time of transformation. How we can trigger transformational experiences that change people and why liminal spaces matter, especially in the era of digital experiences.
