Why take part in a Design Thinking workshop ?
The Design Thinking workshops aim to allow participants to take a shared, joint approach to carrying out inquiries and brainstorming on:
- Organizational, managerial or technical problems
- Complex systems or situations
- The exploration of new ideas or innovative projects
- Having an MVP (minimum valuable product) vision and quickly testing a concept
- Involving all of the stakeholders in a project at a specific time
- Strengthening teamwork
- Creating positive working habits and relationships
- Becoming pro-active and fostering a culture where things are produced
- Thinking out of the box and daring to take a creative approach
- Turning the inception phase of a project into a reality and replacing this phase with a kick-off process
- Making sure that you’re in touch with reality
- No longer stopping at the idea stage but quickly making projects a reality thanks to a prototype tested with the target audience
The key advantages of design thinking
- A fast design phase
- Avoids the classic ‘tunnel effect’ of the design process (idea, development, launch, test)
- Brings users face to face with an interactive prototype in record time
- Solutions that bear fruit due to the mix of professional profiles
- Results in a joint, vibrant vision in view of participants’ different profiles
- A common vision
- The group builds, shares and supports a common vision and holds the same level of information on the shape of a solution

I’d like to really thank KLAP for having coached me in how best to carry out the kick off phase of a strategic project during 3 Design Thinking workshops and with the production of the first drafts. Vincent’s availability, advice and experience have greatly added to my own strategic thinking.
