Design thinking offers a different approach to creativity in business. It is a process and a set of tools that helps consistently create new solutions, products and services and solve complex issues.

Design thinking principles are used by thousands of organisations around the world, including Apple, Google, Philips, Coca-Cola, Nivea, Lego, Sony, Procter & Gamble, and others.

Innovation is an implemented new idea, which helps an organisation, a team or an individual perform better. Innovations require not only creative thinking skills and techniques but also a different type of leadership, a different approach to effectiveness and, what most importantly, the ability to build a team that wishes and is able to be innovative.

These practical workshops and sessions provide a concentrated, content-rich and interactive practical experience to help participants learn to use design thinking and FORTH innovation methodology tools and techniques practically, which promote creative thinking and generation, selection, development and successful implementation of new ideas.

Value for the organisation

During the sessions, participants will acquire the knowledge, tools and skills to help them find new areas and directions that guarantee the greatest value of innovations for the organisation, develop and implement new solutions in a smoother and prompter manner, and create a working environment and organisational culture that promote the search of ideas and creative solutions.

Value for the team

Employees and teams that wish and are able to create and implement new ideas and promptly find new, non-standard solutions to daily challenges are the most important assets of today’s organisations. During these sessions, participants will gain a better understanding of the value and benefits of innovations in their activities, try practically the consistent process starting from a challenge and ending with a new solution, and agree on subsequent actions to start using the acquired tools in the team’s activities.

Value for the individual

Participants of the sessions will acquire knowledge and tools and improve their skills:

  • to create new solutions, products and services in a more effective and consistent manner;
  • to solve complex business problems creatively;
  • to understand the needs of their customers better and identify new innovation opportunities;
  • to encourage themselves and others to think creatively and combine this with rational thinking;
  • to involve their colleagues, customers and partners in creative problem-solving and generating ideas;
  • to create a working environment and an organisational culture that encourages search of new ideas and creative solutions.

Numerous studies show that teams and organisations that use design thinking and FORTH methodologies implement twice as many ideas compared to other teams.
