Are you charged with introducing innovation and change in your organization? Do you wrestle with finding the "right" idea and managing the risk of failure? Design Thinking is a creative problem solving approach that can help you and your organization feel more confident about trying new solutions. Design Thinking is now taught to graduate students at Stanford and The Rotman School of Management. It is relevant to businesses and to nonprofit organizations. And now is your chance to learn it too!

In this experiential workshop, we will introduce the framework around design thinking as it is taught at the Stanford school, and then give participants many opportunities to practice their skills. During the two days hands-on workshop, participants will be exposed to a succession of mini labs where they will learn tools and techniques in the areas of needs findings, visualization, ideation, rapid prototyping, create feedback loops, and then immediately apply them to one or several real case studies in the field of social innovation, in a team environment.
