ABOUT THE COURSE
BACKGROUND
This new Open Lab format offers a playful space to practice your design thinking and design doing skills in a low-stakes environment. In this prototype of a regular series of open labs looking at different challenges, our first Open Lab will look at “(Re-)designing collaboration”.
With a diverse group of participants, we will spend 1.5 days going through a quick-and-dirty first iteration of the design process. We’ll research and reflect on key motivations, needs and pain points of collaboration today, identify opportunities, and build and test first prototypes, leading us to newer, smarter questions as well as deepened understanding.
Even though the Open Labs are mainly about growing your design skills, we still expect the shared workshop documentation to be a first valuable resource for future work for your own practice or organization.
KEY CONTENT
-
understanding the difference between explorative prototyping, prototyping for ideation and prototyping for validation
-
explore quick&dirty protoyping, prototyping an end-to-end experience and how to prototype systems
-
learn how to use AI to aid your prototyping
-
discover different ways to document your prototyping process and insights with various methods and tools
-
experience different prototyping methods including desktop walkthrough and investigative rehearsal
-
plan your own prototyping stack to fit the needs of your organisation
This is a prototype!
The Prototyping Deep Dive is a prototype developed in collaboration with This is Service Design Doing. That means we are still working on parts of it, and it may not be fully polished. However, we are sure that you will get value from it – and you will be the first people to experience it. In recognition of the prototype quality, we offer the event at a reduced price (but not for free, because paying is part of the experiment). In return, we will ask you for more detailed feedback.

WHO IS IT FOR?
You have done training in Design Thinking but need some more confidence to be able to embed your leanings in your work environment. Convincing colleagues about the value of Design Thinking could still difficult. You want to practice your Design Thinking muscle and want to do this on an industry or specific challenge-related topic. This makes the confidence you have built directly transferable to your actual work environment.
Suitable for:
-
Anyone who would like to practice their design thinking skills
-
Anyone interested in design and how to apply it to a concrete topic
-
Designers (service design, design thinking, innovation), user experience, and customer experience professionals who want to do a first immersion into the topic of "re-designing collaboration"
