Product, Design & UX, Strategy, Innovation
Adam Radziszewski
Driven by a passion for transforming organizations into human-centered and design-driven powerhouses, I bring over 15 years of experience in product design, management, innovation, team coaching, and leadership. As an expert in UX research, product strategy, and emerging technologies, I deliver innovative solutions that drive exceptional user adoption and exceed market expectations.
STRATEGY
A good strategy serves as a bridge between our ambitions and actions. Drawing from Blue Ocean Strategy, 10 Types of Innovation, Lean Startup, and Value Proposition & Business Model Canvas methodologies, I craft clear product direction that drives results. Through focused executive workshops, I align teams around measurable objectives and create momentum for execution.OKRs.
DESIGN THINKING & UX
While strategy is essential for setting the direction, design thinking is the engine that puts strategy into motion. Through this human-centered approach, I lead design teams to create impactful solutions. By blending UX/UI design with behavioral science and gamification, I help teams deliver experiences that drive engagement and results.
USER & MARKET RESEARCH
Identifying and understanding users' unmet and unknown needs is the foundation of amazing solutions. I uncover users' mental models, behaviors, barriers, and motivations through generative and evaluative research. I leverage behavioral economics, and modern tools, including AI, to optimize users' experiences.
INNOVATION
Innovation and day-to-day business can seem at odds, leading to a tricky balancing act. My proven approach accelerates innovation across all horizons—from solving known challenges to discovering breakthrough opportunities in unexplored territories. I establish innovation incubators and lead creativity workshops that spark experimentation, collaboration, and lasting transformation.
FACILITATION & TRAINING
Over 15 years and 75+ workshops, I've practiced the art of creating dynamic spaces where innovation flourishes. When I don't apply myself to strategic projects, I deliver my Strategy-Innovation-Design training. My expertise in facilitating strategy, design thinking, and innovation workshops now enriches students at the University of Delaware, where I teach Design Thinking and guide teams toward breakthrough solutions.
LEADERSHIP
Leadership thrives on genuine human connections and shared goals. Drawing on five core principles, I cultivate high-performing teams where trust and collaboration transform routine work into energizing achievements. By combining Dan Pink's motivation drivers with Fogg's behavior model, I help team members unlock their full potential. Through Amazon's Working Backwards methodology, we ensure our solutions directly address customer needs, creating meaningful impact that matters.

"I had the pleasure of reporting to Adam, while he was at GS1. Under Adam’s leadership, the company developed and launched a world-class global Innovation program, including the development of a collaborative idea engine, innovation process, and a community network of industry experts, technologists, researchers, and advisors from around the globe. Leveraging the innovation board that he managed, and crowdsourcing of ideas from the community, he helped incubate innovative concepts and emerging technologies such as VR and IoT. He established the Design Thinking practice for the entire global organization, instilling new critical thinking and creative processes to solve complex industry problems. He evangelized and structured the strategic investments in innovations that helped shape the foundational innovation strategy and roadmap for the business.
He is a natural leader, effective yet compassionate in his approach. With his cool attitude, calm demeanor, and high energy, he is the eternal pragmatist who can distill simplicity in the face of adversity. He is among the best managers and smartest professionals I have ever worked for. I highly recommend him and would be honored to work for him again."

"Adam has had a profound impact on Rightway and his team. When he joined, the design team was largely viewed as a passive support function. Under Adam’s leadership, the team has transformed into a proactive, integral player in product discovery and user research. This shift is no small feat and has been widely acknowledged across peer and stakeholder reviews. Adam has introduced lean yet highly effective processes and tools, enabling the team to dramatically improve both the quality and quantity of their output. Adam is an inspirational leader who strikes a balance between challenging his team and providing the support they need to succeed. His ability to advocate for design’s pivotal role in the product development lifecycle has elevated the team’s standing, and he has forged strong, collaborative partnerships with both engineering and product teams. This has ensured seamless alignment and integration across functions."
