An overview of design thinking, hosted by Tricia Okin. This event discussed how it’s Design Thinking is used in organizations, and provided short exercises you can do at home.

Design thinking methodologies aren't just for user experience designers and researchers. It’s a framework that helps people generate and explore ideas among a group and eventually build a consensus that pushes concepts forward while understanding the human problems that drive innovation. It gives practitioners a way to produce ideas and evaluate on a level playing field. At this point in time, ensuring everyone’s ideas are heard or implemented will go a long way towards making progress.

You can use design thinking within organizations to get buy-in from key stakeholders or even as an individual when working through your own projects. In this session, you’ll get an overview of design thinking, how it’s used in organizations, and some short exercises you can take home with you.
