2/10

This high energy two-day course will give you a common level of understanding of the Design Thinking principles, key tools & terminology.

Join a hands-on experience during which you will be “Learning-by-Doing“ how to master the following tools and the Design Thinking principles.

Stakeholder Mapping

Value Network Mapping

Personas

Stakeholder Mapping builds a better picture of the ‘eco-system’ that you are exploring. Stakeholders are people, teams or organizations that directly or indirectly exchange ‘value’. The exchange of value is used as the basis to explore the surrounding context.

Value Network Mapping creates insight in the exact values that are being exchanged between stakeholders. It helps uncover and verify assumptions, while helping in identifying the right positioning of innovation. It allows to focus on the ‘eco-system’ to explore.

Personas allow to move away from abstract demographics and towards the wants and needs of real people. By telling the story of your persona you can really make them come to life. It Functions as an archetype and assumes the attributes of the group it represents.

Customer Journey Mapping

Service Scenarios

Prototyping

Customer Journey Mapping allows us to step further into the customer shoes. It visualises the customer’s perceptions and the larger surrounding context at the different stages in the journey. It provides a deeper insight into customer needs, perception, experience and motivation.

Service Scenarios are used to visualize how a (newly designed) service is being experienced from a customer point of view. By drawing the end user’s emotional experience, ideas really come alive. Service Scenarios act as the basis for the prototyping activities, describing possible future scenarios of the service.

Prototyping is done to test a service concept in a ‘low tech’ environment with relevant stakeholders. Prototyping can be done by building artifacts from cardboard or paper or by using Lego.

It is a very iterative process and it ends when no more relevant learnings can be collected.

4/10

During day one you will experience a short and interactive introduction to Service Design Thinking. It enables you to develop and deliver innovative ideas, change and solutions to complex problems. It is an activity-based process with a strong emphasis on teamwork and co-creation.

‘Learning-by-doing’ is at the core of Service Design. Most of the two days, however, will be spent on working on a specific case using different tools. The tools we will practice during the Design Thinking Fundamentals will be handed over at the end of the training and are free for use. Customer Journey mapping is the core of the course and reflects upon the interaction of the customer with the service.

Highlights:

How can you successfully apply Design Thinking in a complex business environment? How can you build empathy inside an organization, use customer feedback, rate insights and translate them into implementable opportunities?

What is the value of design and how can you use it to your personal and organizational advantage? What are the fundamental principles of innovation and Design Thinking? How can you create stakeholder and sponsor buy-in? How can you successfully implement innovations?

“One of the most inspirational and energetic training I have ever done!”
