TESTIMONIES
“A lovely day of training that lead us to study a concrete case and learn a new technique of workshop facilitation for actionable results.”
“The training was a success, it changed our lives and it really helped us to have a solid foundation when it comes to organizing the workshops, structuring and finding the right tools.”
A real tool at the service of innovation, Design Thinking is a methodology that makes it possible to turn ideas and projects into real actions and concrete prototypes, putting the user at the core of the initiative.
Implemented in the form of workshops, participants go through a thoughtful process to translate ideas into reality and test them with users.
More than a working methodology, Design Thinking is a mindset to be integrated into the company.
Indeed, this new way of working breaks with the traditional V-model of project management, the main risk of which is not only a discrepancy between what is really developed and what was defined at the beginning of the process, but also to obtain a finished product which, if it does not solve an actual issue for the user, is too fixed to be improved.
Using Design Thinking for a project will also accelerate the learning curve of your teams and reduce the risks associated with launching a project.
The Design Thinking approach can also be a great way to initiate a change management process in an organization, or launch innovative and flexible projects.
