Design Thinking is the mindset, skillset and toolset that powers innovation. It does not rely on past solutions to answer today’s challenges. It is a bottom-up discovery process designed to understand significant complexity and manage high levels of ambiguity. Design Thinking transforms product/service/company design into a proactive response-able organization instead of a reactive, orthodoxy-driven follower.
Companies need a culture of design thinking supporting the work. That is where workshops, training and coaching come in.
The Design Thinking Experience is designed to immerse participants in the culture of the discipline by using real challenges as the focus of the learning. In this “learn by doing” environment, process, tools language and experience are combined in the video segments, live discussions and follow on coaching. Over the weeks of the Experience participants will be able to test the fit of Design Thinking in their companies and bring challenges and successes back to the sessions for coaching and learning. The Design Thinking Experience provides a test bed for experimenting with the process and tuning it up to fit their organizations.
