Strategy & Innovation Consultant

An organization’s ability to innovate is critical to long-term success–whether it's creating seamless and enjoyable customer journeys, radically new products and services, or breakthrough business models.

Innovation is about solving important, challenging problems in original,
value-creating ways. Design Thinking is a practical toolkit for innovation
that anyone can learn and apply. It is a human-centered method for creatively solving complex problems that inspire and delight users.

In this workshop, you will learn the core principles of Design Thinking in a
5-step framework. You will then apply the steps to quickly develop a creative
new product idea for one of your fellow workshop participants.
