What does it take to do design thinking well?
Design thinking isn’t just a process—it’s a journey of transformation for those who practice it. While many focus on its impact on customers and users, the real question is: How does design thinking change the designers themselves?
Join us for an immersive workshop inspired by the bestselling book Experiencing Design: The Innovator’s Journey by Jeanne Liedtka, Karen Hold and Jessica Eldridge. This workshop will provide advanced practitioners and facilitators with an introduction to the five critical skills necessary to unlock the full potential of design thinking—not just as a tool, but as a personal and professional transformation.
Skills development
As a participant, you will gain knowledge and further develop your innovation and design thinking skills that are critical to your success. The skills that you will learn include:
Opportunity Seeking Skills
Breakthrough ideas come from challenging assumptions, redefining problems, and embracing unconventional solutions. But real innovation also requires comfort with ambiguity, resisting premature closure, and staying patient through iteration. Mastering these skills transforms creativity into impact.
Relationship Skills
The most creative solutions come from diverse groups working together, seeing new possibilities that no one member could have seen alone. Without good human-to-human connection, that potential is rarely realized. Relationship Skills are the foundation of this connection that supports innovation success.“
Presencing Skills
Most people struggle to predict reactions to innovations outside of their experience base. As a result, obtaining accurate feedback requires that an innovator be able to vividly “presence” the future to make it feel real to peers, potential customers, and partners. These Presencing Skills can be learned with practice and focused effort.
Scientific Reasoning Skills
The set of skills and mindsets related to Scientific Reasoning require the ability to be detached, impersonal and objective in order to manage risk, rather than merely avoid it. The ability to treat ideas as hypotheses to be tested, to identify data as an evidence base and to design and execute experiments are essential to managing risk.
