Corporate Workshops

As the challenges and opportunities facing businesses, organizations, and society grow more complex, and as stakeholders grow more diverse; an approach known as design thinking is playing a greater role in finding meaningful solutions.

Design thinking is an iterative problem-solving process of discovery, ideation, and experimentation that employs various design-based techniques to gain insight and yield innovative solutions for virtually any type of organizational or business challenge. At the heart of this approach is a deep sensitivity to the needs of people, whether they are consumers, clients, or everyday citizens.

thinkshift workshops provide participants with hands-on experience in each step of the design thinking process and strengthen collaboration and communication skills to create real impact within your organization and beyond. Our workshops can be half or full-day and can be tailored to address the specific needs of your organization.
