Increasingly complex times make innovation and collaboration vital to all types of business. Both of these principles are essential components of Design Thinking. ‘Design Thinking’ is a set of protocols for effective problem solving, discovery and opportunity. A human-centered approach to innovation, it draws from the designer’s toolkit to integrate the needs of people, the possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success.

Dee Roche is a high energy ‘Design Thinker’, trained in methods developed by IDEO ExperiencePoint, a collaborative training partnership.

During this presentation, Dee will:
- discuss the process of Design Thinking and its importance
- demonstrate how the Design Thinking approach creates and accelerates better solutions to the complex challenges facing business and society
- share a range of human-centered creative design tools to deliver new breakthrough ideas
- show you how to assume a ‘Beginners Mindset’ - imagining the ability to turn abstract ideas into practical applications for maximal business growth
- teach you to learn how to incorporate Design Thinking into your business processes to select and execute winning innovations.
