Design Thinking

التفكير التصميمي

For companies whose teams jump to solutions and build the wrong thing, and that want a reliable way to solve problems around the people they serve.

What you will be able to do

Five modules, one way of working your team can apply to any problem, product or service: understand the people, frame the real problem, then generate and test ideas before committing to them.

Understand the People (Empathize)

You will be able to
  • Research the people you design for, directly rather than by assumption
  • Find what they actually need, struggle with and value

Frame the Problem (Define)

You will be able to
  • Find the real problem behind the symptoms
  • Write a clear problem statement the team can solve

Generate Ideas (Ideate)

You will be able to
  • Generate a wide range of ideas with your team, using structured techniques
  • Narrow them to the ones worth pursuing

Prototype

You will be able to
  • Turn a chosen idea into a simple, testable prototype
  • Use a business or process model to make it concrete

Testing

You will be able to
  • Put the prototype in front of real stakeholders
  • Use honest feedback to improve the solution before it is built

How it runs

Format
Hands-on workshops; your team works on its own live challenges from the first session
Groups
Group work and presentations, with larger groups split into smaller ones
Tools
A shared whiteboard and live polling
Agreed with your management
Scope and goals are set with the CEO or HR before it starts.

Want your team to solve problems this way?

In the initiation session we listen to where the business is, ask the questions that matter, and agree what to look at first.
