Design Thinking workshop for students, researchers and entrepreneurs! From March 21 to March 24, 2022 from 10am-12pm, the participants will experience the entire “need finding phase” of the Design Thinking process and, step-by-step, turn their findings into a business idea.
Design Thinking is a Human Centered Innovation Approach where human needs, hopes and aspirations come before any thoughts on feasibility or viability. Once the essential needs are interpreted and formulated into opportunity areas, the design thinking team starts with the solution finding: to create as many solutions as possible, select the best and directly go into prototyping of those ideas in order to gain Customer feedback and fine tune the idea.
This workshop will help you to:
- get an overview of the mindset, tools and process of Design Thinking
- experience how to empathize with different stakeholders and their perspective on a topic
- interprete the statements and behaviours from observation and turn them into an Opportunity Area
- apply brainstorming and rapid prototyping for solution finding
- pitch your idea.
