Key Information

The programme runs over two days in the DTTT Headquarters, located in Canterbury, Garden of England. The following programme is subject to change:

1. Empathise

The first stage will be dedicated to understanding why empathy is key to adopting a user or visitor-centred approach to the challenges we face in any situation.

2. Define

The second stage will focus on exploring different techniques which will help you to develop a clearer understanding of the people involved in your challenge.

3. Ideate

In this stage, we will work to ideate hundreds, if not thousands of ideas with different methods. This is one of the keys to successfully implementing Design Thinking, as it will help us narrow down the ideas that could work.

4. Prototype

Once a solution is identified, assumptions pose a risk, as these are almost always based on bias. Learn how to take low-fidelity prototypes into the field, considering a wide range of perspectives.

5. Test

The last stage will look at testing and getting feedback from users. You'll learn how to prototype, test and iterate as part of your systematic workflow.
