Design thinking methodologies are based on a human-centered approach that encourages you to think in a very visual way. Using images, playing, drawing and imagination in design thinking workshops inevitably leads to innovative solutions, product innovation and new ideas.
Working as a team can sometimes be tedious, which is why it’s essential to spice up your methods and continuously stimulate the creative spirit of your team members. Sometimes setting aside business jargon to use images such as the rose while doing a strategic analysis will enable participants to access a completely different part of their brain, which might prove to be more creative.
Perfect in countless situations (regular team catch-ups, stumbling blocks in project management, customer feedback, etc.) and with an unlimited number of participants, this design thinking method is an effective way to get feedback and ideas to explore as a team.
Whether you’re together in person, or some of you are working remotely, inspire your team with this quick and fun workshop!
