The latest episode of Power of Ten is out with my guest Marzia Aricò.

We talked about her journey to where she is now, service design and organisational change, the importance of diversity within organisations and how her guests on Design Voices Elevated have navigated their own journeys. And we talk about her new book in graphic novel format called Design Leadership Chronicles.
