In our one-day, introductory collaborative work session we will give you a hands-on, sneak peek into Design Thinking’s process and mind-set. By placing the experience at the heart of matters you will witness, first hand, how tacit knowledge can be unlocked. Our observation focused, iterative approach enables you to shift from a ‘thinking’ to ‘doing’ mode.The valuable “Design Thinking for People-People” booklet will ensure you leave us with a thorough theory-fix to boot.
