Do you feel like you're juggling competing expectations, priorities, and people?
Join the interactive session to learn and experiment in Design Thinking, and which simple tools can support you with delivering a project where your stakeholders feel engaged from start to end. The session is designed to teach you about the principles of human-centric problem finding and iterative solution creation. Sign up and walk away with concrete tips and tricks to bring back to your project work (both online and on-site)!
Design thinking methods originated from observing the way designers go about understanding their client's needs and creating products they truly love. As project managers, we deliver solutions and innovation to our clients or stakeholders hoping they value the results as much as the project team who designed them.
How do we make sure we understand needs and create something truly valuable?
There are many design thinking principles, methods and tools that can enhance your project delivery - be it classic or agile. Here are a few of the topics which will be covered by your speakers & facilitators both from theory and practice perspectives:
=>Breaking the ice and connecting
* Facilitating open conversations about project objectives, scope and outcomes
* Amplifying voices and sharing ideas in a safe space
* Diffusing tension or disagreements
=>Improving Transparency and Alignment:
* Reaching alignment and prioritization across stakeholders
* Democratic and simple decision making
* Running great project meetings and retrospectives
=>Problem finding and target framing:
* Observing beyond the obvious
* Identifying and agreeing on the right problems and objectives
* Understanding the needs and goals of clients and stakeholders
=>Ideation and iterative solution generation:

Our team of certified facilitators is looking forward to taking you on a Design Thinking journey around human-centered methods!
After the event, there will be an apéro and the opportunity to network with other attendees and speakers.
