Recently some of our teammates had the privilege of attending the Georgia Tech School of Industrial Design LaunchPad event. LaunchPad is an end-of-semester showcase where both graduate and undergraduate students display their remarkable projects crafted throughout the semester.
Join OSB’s Ashley Touchton and Hannah Ranieri with Idea Overflow Podcast hosts Dan Perotti and Patrick Payne to hear about OSB’s founding, the story behind the name, their individual career journeys, to forming a relationship with DroneUp, speaking at SXSW 24, and receiving permitting and funding to pilot an autonomous drone pick-up pilot in Detroit, Michigan.
While inclusivity and diverse representation are necessary in all fields, they are especially crucial when designing for change. We asked several of our OSB team members to share their thoughts on building inclusive innovation ecosystems and their potential benefits to stakeholders.
Our retreats afford the team a few days to focus on new ideas and working on the business as a group. In 2023, we held our retreat in founder Meaghan Kennedy’s hometown, Manistee, Michigan. The team stayed and met in The Ramsdell Inn, in Manistee’s victorian downtown, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
At the core of the greatest issues facing our society are issues of narratives - conflicting narratives, false narratives, and outdated narratives. Without effective communication and storytelling, even the best interventions and solutions will struggle. This inspired the spring offering of the PH+ series produced by OSB and Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University: Public Health+ Communication.
