EVENT OVERVIEW
Unlock your team’s creative potential. Extend operational excellence with hands on design thinking using Lego serious play. Design thinking is an essential process for companies who would like to lead the market through creativity and innovation. This model establishes the flow of knowledge and thinking, to solve problems and make strategic decisions.
As a manager in sales, manufacturing, learning and development, or a consultant have you ever wanted to find out more about how Lego Serious Play and Design Thinking could work for your team or organisation? Well this is your chance to test the experience and learn about the tools. It is a deep dive workshop, with a human centric approach to developing creative confidence for the individual and different possibilities for the organisation. You will learn how to create an environment for testing ideas and methodologies for building the right habits. Thinking faster and moving faster. This workshop also explores how this non-linear thinking integrates seamlessly with “lean” and “wellbeing strategies” to create functional and emotional meaning. This workshop will explore how to optimise both individual and team thinking through problem solving using hands on thinking. It will also review how the tools can be combined in different ways to run “sprints” and “hack-a-thons” as well as how it can be expanded into an “innovation lab."
