DesAlps: Design Thinking news – Giugno 2019

DesAlps Design Thinking Toolkit available

The DesAlps project has issued a free Design Thinking Teaser (available on www.designthinkinglab.eu and on DesAlps project website) to introduce the tools and methodology typical of Design Thinking to those who intend to apply this method in their company or institution but have never experienced this type of tools before. Guidelines and templates have been designed by Design Thinking experts in order to make the typical Design Thinking path clear to the ones who haven’t experienced it yet, following the Double Diamond scheme developed by the UK Design Council. The format can be easily used by everyone interested in experimenting this method. Nevertheless, for optimal management of the activity and more extensive results, we recommend the guidance of an expert facilitator on the methodology of Design Thinking who can guide you along the way. Check for an expert in your area in the new Regional DT LAB pages in our Design Thinking Community!

DesAlps Design Thinking Journey

A deeper understanding of the challenges was started and prototypes were generated for the solutions in co-creation in interdisciplinary teams. This allowed all participants to experience DT from beginning to end and thus finding answers to their challenges. Read more

Design Thinking Workshops in Slovenia

In May 2019, two Design Thinking workshops were held in Slovenia. Participants were introduced to the Design Thinking method and its benefits. They have tested the method on practical problems, which allowed them to get an insight into the effectiveness of this method. Regardless of the field in which the participants are engaged, they recognized the benefits and possibilities of using it in the future.
