Presentation

The Design Thinking workshop immerses you in a user-centred method of innovation. This technique – developed at Stanford University and adopted throughout Silicon Valley – approaches problems by understanding users and their needs. The information collected and analysed becomes the basis for an ideation session aimed at finding first solutions to challenges.
A prototype is then produced and compared with user opinion.
This process then leads to a definitive solution that meets an identified need.
The workshop is illustrated by concrete examples from facilitators who have developed their products using this particular technique.
