Design thinking strategy and workshops foster innovation and teamwork within a team bringing in outside perspectives and multi-disciplinary groups. Workshops achieve problem solving in action, giving organizations approaches and solutions that are user-centered and apply to a variety of challenges. Design thinking allows collaboration and focuses on thinking outside the box. It includes defining the problem, ideating it, prototyping solutions and testing them.
Design Strategy & Workshops
Design Thinking Workshops:
Our design thinking workshops spark innovation through hands-on, user-centered problem solving. Teams collaborate across disciplines to define challenges, ideate, prototype, and test practical solutions.
Charette Style Multi-day Workshops:
These intensive, multi-day sessions bring diverse voices together to rapidly tackle complex challenges. Through structured collaboration, teams generate creative, actionable ideas grounded in user needs.
Problem-Solving Workshops:
We guide teams through focused sessions to break down challenges, explore root causes, and co-create practical, user-driven solutions—promoting alignment, momentum, and creative thinking.
Idea Hatchery & Validation:
From brainstorming to pressure testing, our Idea Hatchery sessions help teams generate, refine, and validate innovative concepts quickly—ensuring ideas are both creative and grounded in real-world needs.
Persona Development:
We help teams build detailed user personas to better understand target audiences, aligning product or service development with real customer needs, motivations, and behaviors.
Journey Mapping:
Our journey mapping sessions visualize the end-to-end user experience, helping teams uncover pain points, opportunities, and insights that lead to more thoughtful, user-focused solutions.
