One of the most important parts of being a designer or a problem solver is working with collaborating with our business stakeholders, conveying ideas and running experiments with them. Quite often there are misunderstandings and resolving them need some respect and empathy on both sides. To get a deeper understanding on how to collaborate with them, I spoke to Kshitij Bharadwaj.

He currently heads a platform group at Gojek which builds communication and identity management tools.He’s also a Full stack developer and tinkers with open source libraries.

With this episode we come to the end of season 1 of Hireworthy podcast.

Over the past few months, we’ve had the opportunity to talk to some great designers and product managers who shard their deep perspectives on how to be a problem solver or a designer and build your design and management careers well.

Over the candid conversations, we’ve learned that many problems can be solved well if you approach them with a sense of iterative-ness, urgency and curiosity. And that you can communicate with stakeholders effectively with empathy and if you are the face of design in your company, you must be the voice for your users and customers.

Overall as a maker and problem-solver, you can be a great interfae between all teams to ensure products are shipped in the best possible way.

It’s been a great experience for me to host them all, have real conversations and bring some much needed perspectives. Thank you for journeying along with me through this season. I’ll be bringing more amazing conversations for the Season 2, so stay tuned and thanks again very much. Stay safe and have a good time.
