FOSTER INNOVATION
in today's economy, innovation is as essential as it is difficult.
Corporate cultures capable of “inventing the future” are rare, but the emerging discipline of design thinking - honed by the celebrated innovation consultancy IDEO - provides people with the tools and techniques to think differently, see new opportunities, and create innovative solutions with impact.
are your ideas desirable, feasible, and viable?
Design thinking is a discipline focused on synthesizing the needs of people, the technical feasibility of an idea and its overall business viability. The best way to develop the associated skills, mindsets and reflexes is through experience.
ExperienceInnovation™, built in collaboration with celebrated design consultancy IDEO, is a collection of expert-guided innovation workshops that enable your people to build innovation confidence and competence. They’ll emerge with foundational knowledge and real experience in design thinking so they can immediately put it to work to achieve impact in your organization.
