Design thinking has become a very popular approach for handling a wide range of development processes. It is both a mindset and a method consisting of several sub-processes that can be applied in order to define, develop and implement projects that create more value to the surroundings.

After a short introduction to the theoretical underpinning of the method, the rest of the workshop will be very practical and focus on:

• How to develop a deep understanding of the stakeholders’ perspectives, needs, aspirations etc. and integrate this knowledge into the framework of the project
• How to develop innovative ideas, building on this deep understanding
• How to turn these ideas into concepts and solutions that can be implemented

The workshop will be a mix of short presentations, experiments with concrete tools as well as a brief discussion and reflection about the application of the design thinking approach.

By the end of the workshop you will have knowledge about

• The theoretical foundation of the approach
• The different design thinking process models
• The core sub-processes of the design thinking model

And ability to

• Apply the method to shorter development processes
