Design Thinking for Groups

ALIGN YOUR TEAM AROUND A PROVEN FRAMEWORK FOR DEVELOPING INNOVATIVE L&D SOLUTIONS.

The Design Thinking for Training and Development Workshop is a perfect program for aligning your training needs assessment and development team around an approach to developing creative, outside-the-box solutions to your most pressing business needs. In this workshop, your team will work as a group to learn and practice how to brainstorm, test and decide on the right L&D initiatives to meet your company’s current and future goals.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

You’ll start by working with our director of professional development to determine if this program is a good fit for your training team’s needs. Next, we’ll help you identify the right people from your training team to participate in the Design Thinking for L&D Workshop, and to select a time and delivery modality that minimizes disruption and maximizes learning. You’ll then work with the course facilitator to share your team challenges and ensure they’re able to connect the design thinking principles taught in the course to your specific context. Throughout, we’ll also offer recommendations and best practices for team alignment and reinforcement before, during and after training so that your team is prepared to apply the design thinking approach they’ve learned on the job to realize real business results.
