W is for Workshops

Beginners Guide to Design Thinking

In this episode, we uncover a few of the reasons why workshops can be innovation and creative goldmines when you're looking to solve a problem, make a decision, or whenever you have a challenge ahead of yourself or your team.
We look at how design thinking workshops are actually more likely to produce iterational innovation, than the transformational innovation that we hear about in the media, before explaining the need for good preparations, the limitations of workshops, and how to get the buy in of everyone involved.
Along the way we touch on the need for diversity and inclusion, and of course we share some exercises and tools you can try for yourself. Prototype party anyone?!
