Stanford Continuing Studies

Reinhold Steinbeck, founding partner of IntoActions, an innovation company based in the San Francisco Bay Area, works with clients, partners and colleagues in the business, public, education and social worlds to create innovative solutions and build lasting innovation cultures. Reinhold looks at design as a way of thinking and doing that can be applied to solve wicked problems, whatever the sector.

Reinhold’s professional life has been shaped by his tenures with two of the most innovative organizations in technology, education and design: 17 years with Stanford University, and two years with Apple. At Stanford, Reinhold was Associate Director of Learning Experience Design with the Stanford Center for Innovations in Learning (SCIL), and Founding Director of the Stanford University International Outreach Program (IOP). At Apple, Reinhold worked with Apple’s Advanced Technology Group, leading ACOTNet, the globally distributed learning community of the Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow program.

A passionate educator and researcher, Reinhold has taught and conducted research in technology, education, design and innovation at universities in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Switzerland and the US.

In 2011, Reinhold founded the Laboratório de Design, Inovação e Criatividade (d-USPLeste) at the University of São Paulo, the first university-based design thinking initiative for social impact in Brazil. This initiative has won him acclaim as a speaker at the 2011 TEDx Conference on Innovation and Education in Porto Alegre.
