Design thinking is a powerful process that can enhance innovation, increase problem-solving and deepen empathy. In this workshop, deliberate moments of play have been engineered within the Design Thinking learning experience to increase awareness of critical thinking, experiential learning, flow, play, and collaboration. This workshop will showcase the power of play within design thinking as a creative and revelatory experience that will enhance problem-solving, learning and solutions-finding skills.
Meetings can be a real waste of time - especially if they are not engaging or productive. This workshop is for managers and leaders who want to transform unproductive meetings into hands-on, interactive, engaging, workshop-like experiences that drive results and improve team collaboration. We will explore practical, immediately applicable activities, frameworks and visual tools that can be put into play the very next day. This workshop will give participants the tools to make meetings more engaging, more interactive, more efficient, more enjoyable and more productive.
How can thinking about one thing shed light on another thing with such surprising force? Metaphor is a powerful language technique that can extend thinking in order to tackle problems with new and deeper insights. Book this workshop to learn how metaphor can be used to enhance and illuminate problem-solving and work effectively as an effective and strategic tool to 'unstick' thinking.
Drive employee engagement, boost productivity, and enhance collaboration by understanding the game mechanics behind game design. Explore how to apply game design principles to elevate engagement, improve project delivery, and enhance leadership and collaboration with ‘united quests’ in your team.
This workshop explores ways of capturing and promoting collaboration and thinking with visuals.
