Workshops using Design Thinking

Workshops using Design Thinking


There are many ways to run workshops. And maybe not all are equals. 

So when I speak of workshops in this course I'm talking about a particular type of workshops: workshops that are inspired by a Design Thinking methodology.

What the fuck is Design Thinking?

Design thinking is a formalized approach and set of tools that apply the creative design process to traditional business problems. Basically, it's an approach that steals all the great tools that artists, architects, designers, and most creatives use to find new solutions and brings it back in the corporate world.

The workshops I personally run aren't a full design thinking process but use tools inspired by the methodology. You'll discover those in the chapter about "why workshops work". 

As this is just a small nota benne, let's not lose more time with definitions and let's get started with the course! 🚀
