We don’t receive wisdom we must discover it for
ourselves.
What is design thinking?
Design thinking is an iterative process that we use to understand the “user” (our customers, clients, stakeholders or partners etc), challenge assumptions and redefine reasons behind the creative, technical, business or social problems we are trying to solve.
We use design thinking as a “way of working” and have incorporated it into the way that we “do business”. But we also employ design thinking techniques as part of our project work – to kick start projects, innovate within constraints and to test and experiment with solutions. This means that when you work with Disruptors, you learn design thinking by participating in our work, engaging with our processes and co-designing our projects.
Design thinking for strategy
Developing strategy can be a long and arduous process. Or it can be engaging, challenging, and dare we say … fun.
We have developed specific design thinking workshops for strategic development. These can be used at board, management or team level and help ensure alignment across all levels. Immersive by design, our workshops can be delivered in-person, online or in a hybrid format. We customise each workshop according to your particular needs.
Design thinking for products
Because design thinking is a business “accelerator” it exposes the underlying road blocks in a process. This makes it perfect for rapidly developing new products or services for market. We can help you develop new products, or coach you through the process, building your own capacity and expertise.
Case study: Catalyst Labs
The Catalyst Lab Innovation Program (CLIP) is the NSW Department of Education’s own innovation and design thinking hub.
In 2019, the Department partnered with Disruptors Co to deliver the program, teaching teachers how to become innovators through a structured sprint and innovation incubation program.
The program was run in the Sydney Metropolitan and Hunter regions, commencing with 100 teachers from across the two regions, narrowing down through pitch eliminations at problem definition, design sprint and incubation stages.
