Ideate, Iterate, Innovate: Design Thinking in Action

Businesses across the globe are experiencing seismic shifts. Client expectations are evolving worldwide, new technologies are emerging faster than organizations can adapt, and the global war for talent rages on. In this landscape, the organizations that thrive will be those with the most adaptable, innovative, and engaged people.

With over 30 years of experience in design thinking and organizational development, our U.S. based facilitators have helped organizations around the world unlock innovation. Our Switch Innovation Method brings a unique, human-centered approach and acts as a catalyst for change, empowering you to transform your organization and position it for lasting success.

This two-day workshop will give you the tools and insight you need to impact your innovation efforts. Day one will immerse you in the core principles and methodologies of design thinking, providing valuable insights and practical tools. On day two we will put theory into action by tackling your own real-world challenges and applying design thinking to uncover innovative solutions. You will collaborate with fellow participants, brainstorm ideas, and prototype in real time. You will leave the workshop renewed with a fresh perspective and the confidence to tackle any challenge with a design-thinking mindset.
