AI and Design Thinking - The Creative Alliance
Want to expand your creative skills and take your projects to the next level? Then dive into the fascinating alliance of design thinking and artificial intelligence (AI). At a time when AI technology is advancing rapidly, new opportunities are opening up for using AI to create value. The use of AI in design thinking has the potential to take the innovation process to a new level!
Let’s explore together how you can use AI as a creative partner to expand your capabilities and make the most of your resources. With AI-powered tools, you’ll increase the diversity of perspectives in problem space exploration and solution design, and make better-informed decisions while creating empathetic solutions that masterfully combine emotion and efficiency.
Goals:
- Discover how to overcome the limitations of previous design thinking skills with AI and complement your strengths to move projects forward faster and more efficiently without constantly relying on external resources.
- Learn how to use AI-powered tools to take broader and more nuanced perspectives, discover hidden connections, and identify and address potential biases.
- See how you create potential future scenarios using AI tools and play out different possibilities with AI as your virtual partner to make informed and strategic decisions to set your projects on the path to success.
- Explore how to achieve the optimal balance between AI efficiency and human empathy work in design thinking. Dive into techniques from improvisational theater, prototyping, and ethnography to integrate AI-generated output into your own learning process and enrich it with human emotions, values, and experiences.

More information
- “AI” is a multifaceted term and encompasses various concepts, technologies and tools that are continuously growing. In this workshop, we focus less on the technology behind it and more on what you can do with it. The focus will be mainly on the use of “ChatGPT” as a voice and text based chatbot, and “Canva” and “Uizard” as AI design tools (more tools will be presented).
- No prior knowledge of using these tools is required, as we support their use.
- We ask all participants to bring their own functional laptop, as there will be some individual and pair work in places, allowing for more efficient experimentation.

Agenda
The duration of the workshop is 3 Days. For a convenient arrival and departure time, the first Day starts at 10:15 am and the last Day ends at 4:00 pm.
The focus of the workshop is on trying things out: In an alternation of team, pair and individual work, we go directly into application, always under the moderation and guidance of our experienced Design Thinking Coaches.
The workshop consists of the following three blocks:
Block 1: DT process run with AI as a creative partner.
You will dive into the Design Thinking process as a team and experience what ChatGPT can do as an additional “team member” in an interplay of input, output & reflection.
Block 2: The art of prompt engineering with a focus on design thinking
You will learn how to multiply your opportunities along the design thinking process through skillful formulation of prompts and targeted use of extra features in ChatGPT.
Block 3: Design Skills for Non-Designers: Creating Digital Prototypes with AI
Here you’ll experiment with different AI design tools and learn how to create digital prototypes and scenarios at an impressive speed.
