Introducing DT Dojo’s…

Design Thinking Intro for Teams

An affordable & scalable way to share design thinking with others.

Offered as a digital workshop kit + self-led online courses by DT Dojo.

Need an easy way to introduce your team to design thinking?

Run a “flipped workshop” at 1/10th of the cost & effort of other DT training options.

 

How does it work?

Inspired by the notion of “flipping classrooms”, this is a new kind of digital learning experience for teams that feels like an expert-led design thinking workshop, but that you can run yourself.

 
 

All you need is a team and about 30-45 minutes a day for a week! Here’s how…

Kickoff

Choose a week to start and gather as a team for a kickoff meeting. Align on goals, run a creative warm-up activity, and access the materials.

Team Meeting

{ ~45 min }

Watch

Then everyone watches a short design thinking video each day, on their own time. Share ah-ha moments and ask questions via a team chat (e.g., WhatsApp or Slack).

Self-led Videos + Team Chat

{ ~30-45 min each day }

Discuss

Wrap up the week by meeting again to review key take-away points. Discuss implications for your work and identify next steps as a team.

{ ~45 min }

 

Look, no powerpoint!

What others are saying…

 

“This doesn’t feel like an online course. It’s more like a series of dedicated one-on-one sessions with a design thinking expert and mentor.”

“Really powerful stories. The enterprise-scale innovation case study definitely resonates with me. And I hope to be able to apply the journey mapping technique at work too! Thank you.”

Expert-guided, but self-led.

Let me be your guide! I have over 25 years of design thinking experience teaching, practicing, and leading innovation in startups, in global-scale businesses, and in education. Highlights include:

  • Designer at IDEO (the leading DT consulting firm globally)

  • Founding faculty member at the Stanford d.school (the world-renowned epicenter of DT)

  • Founder of d.global (a non-profit born out of the d.school to teach DT globally)

After facilitating hundreds of workshops and teaching thousands of professionals globally, I’ve come to believe that a more accessible, affordable, and scalable way to teach and learn design thinking is needed. Ultimately, this is why I started Design Thinking Dojo (or “DT Dojo”) and why I created this “flipped workshop” kit for teams.
