    The Surprising Truth About Stakeholder Alignment In Innovation | Before You Build Ep 03

    Albania appointed an AI minister to fight corruption, and it turns the show's synthetic-user debate into something much bigger: who signs off when a system makes the call instead of just answering a question. Jolan and Justin also cover why an outside view aligns stakeholders faster than an internal team ever could, why every business decision should trace back to one North Star, and the very real, very repeated cost of a busy week. Plus an honest confession about who actually enjoys being on camera, and who very much does not. (00:00) Intro (00:30) A busy but fast week (01:05) The interview that wouldn't stop (06:41) People buy from people, not brands (12:54) Synthetic users and an AI minister (21:01) Aligning stakeholders who disagree (24:46) Finding your North Star (27:56) See you in two weeks Anté is a strategic design agency that helps businesses turn early-stage ideas into validated concepts.

    100 Ideas for 1 Problem | Before You Build Ep 01

    Making a concept became almost free. Choosing which one to build did not. In the first episode of Before You Build, Jolan and Justin introduce Anté, look at what happens to innovation when ideas cost almost nothing, and dig up a student assignment that asked for a hundred ideas to one problem. They take apart why an outsider thinks outside the box, and close with two trigger cards that get a stuck team moving again. (00:00) Intro (00:55) What Anté is, and a busy week (06:57) Ideas became free, choosing did not (09:44) One hundred ideas for one problem (12:35) Scope, criteria and a sailboat (15:48) Why an outsider sees it first (19:02) Trigger cards that unstick a team (26:02) See you in two weeks Anté is a strategic design agency that helps businesses turn early-stage ideas into validated concepts.
