Workshop Syllabus & Agenda

Workshop Description

This workshop is focused on teaching you advanced Innovation methods and principles using Design Thinking as the primary driver.  You will learn what innovation is and how Design Thinking is a driver of innovation. You will learn to accelerate your decision making, collaboration, ideation, and ultimately your innovation skills.  You will accomplish this by learning to use various Design Thinking methods and tools for research, analysis, synthesis and decision making.


Workshop Goals

This workshop will be most useful for teams interested in driving

innovation as an individual, in a community, or in a company/organization.  It will also provide a system so that you can

repeatedly generate new ideas, concepts, and decisions.  Once you learn this system, it’s domain agnostic.  That is, you’ll be able to apply

these methods to new product development just as easily to service

Design.

1.Upon completion of this workshop, students will understand what

innovation is and how design thinking can be a major driver of it.

2.Upon completion of this workshop, students will be able to plan

3.Upon completion of this workshop, students will be able to

synthesize themes, patterns, and insights from qualitative design

research data.

4.Upon completion of this workshop, students will be able to plan,

structure, and facilitate ideation and concepting sessions.

5.Upon completion of this workshop, students will be able to use

design thinking tools to frame, plan and execute a challenge relevant to their work, community or personal.
