This hands-on workshop extends over two to three days. After a short introduction to the mindsets and practices of Design Thinking the main part of the course begins: it revolves around a real project. Please feel free to bring your own project or challenge! In multidisciplinary teams, participants design solutions for this real-life challenge by entering into and engaging with each phase of the Design Thinking process. Short introductions to methods and tools alternate with practical experience and subsequent reflection.

Agenda
1. Tag
Am ersten Tag erhalten die Teilnehmenden im Rahmen verschiedener Vorträge und Übungen eine intensive Einführung in die Methoden und Arbeitsweisen des Design Thinking. Insbesondere erleben sie, wie sich in kürzester Zeit Ergebnisse erreichen lassen. Der besondere Fokus des Tages liegt auf dem sogenannten Problemraum, in dem die Herausforderung aus Nutzersicht neu definiert wird, um neue Sichtachsen zu legen und innovative Lösungsperspektiven zu eröffnen.
Start: 9:00 Uhr, Ende: 17:00 Uhr
2. Tag
Der Fokus des zweiten Tages liegt auf dem Lösungsraum, also auf den Phasen der Ideenfindung, des Prototypings, des Testens sowie der Iteration. Zu den unterschiedlichen Phasen des Design-Thinking-Prozesses lernen die Teilnehmenden verschiedene Methoden kennen, die im Team angewendet werden. Die Methodenreflexion und die Reflexion der Kollaboration dienen dazu, das Erlebte und Erlernte sinnvoll in die Praxis zu überführen. Welche Methode eignet sich für welchen Prozessschritt? Wie unterscheiden sich die Tools, wo gibt es Gemeinsamkeiten? Wie lief die Zusammenarbeit in einem diversen Team?
Start: 9:00 Uhr, Ende: 17.00 Uhr
Follow-Up:
Ein an den Workshop anschließender Follow-Up-Termin (90 Minuten, online), bietet TeilnehmerInnen die Möglichkeit, sich einen Monat nach dem Workshop noch einmal untereinander und mit einem Coach der HPI Academy auszutauschen.
Was konnten Sie etwas aus dem Workshop in den Arbeitsalltag überführen? Welchen Hindernissen oder Herausforderungen sind Sie dabei begegnet? Welchen Effekt hatte der Workshop auf Ihren Arbeitsalltag, was hat sich möglicherweise verändert? Das Reflektieren über diese Fragen unterstützt eine effektive und nachhaltige Lernerfahrung.
Wir freuen uns, Sie auf Ihrer weiteren Lernreise zu begleiten zu dürfen.
Thanks for your fantastic efforts during the Open Course. We both felt the energy and effort that was generated by all of you, and it was absolutely outstanding! Your course generated a lot of discussion during our travels. We look forward to applying the processes and your insights when we return to work.
