22.01.2022 We are able to create the future, because we are all designers. Every human being is a designer. What makes us human is our ability to create change intentionally. With that in mind, we should be asking if the changes the pandemic has brought into our lives are desirable? And if not, how do we make changes to create a more desirable outcome? Learn how you can design a desirable future on our blog - https://schoolofdesignthinking.echos.cc//design-a-new-futu #design #future #createchange

20.01.2022 What is design doing? How will it produce the revenue streams of the future? Design doing is where all of the dreaming and creations of the thinking process become pragmatic and useful. It is the dedication to the craft and the drive to keep moving when obstacles arise that transforms a design project into something exceptional. And a good designer into a great one!

20.01.2022 When thinking about creating a value for customers there are many ways to achieve that value. The following are six ways to think about the exchange of value between a business and customer or clients. 1. Newness: is there a completely new set of needs emerging? It is possible that customers previously did not even realise they had this need until recently. 2. Performance: improving the performance of existing products and services. ... 3. Customisation: is it possible to meet the specific needs of customers individually. 4. Price: it is possible to create a new or innovate pricing model that lowers costs 5. accessibility: enabling a wide audience to have access to products and services. 6. convenience: products and services that can be made more flexible according to the interests of the customer.

18.01.2022 How we imagine the future is very powerful, because it influences the way the future develops. If we find ourselves living in undesirable circumstances, it is because there was not enough speculation of what the future could be. We believe we must actively design desirable futures, otherwise one will be imposed on us. We explore how to design a future on our blog - https://schoolofdesignthinking.echos.cc//everything-is-de/ ... #designthefuture #futuredesign #designdesirablefutures

18.01.2022 When planning the next steps in an organisation’s innovation journey, it is important to understand where it sits in terms of the overall design maturity.

08.01.2022 There is a name for the economic changes we are experiencing. The Board of Innovation coined the term the Low Touch Economy. This applies to the expanded timeline on restrictions such as limited gatherings, travel, health and hygiene requirements. Our communities, including ourselves, are developing new habits and behaviours that will stay. In the low touch economy, things that cannot become 100% digital will be touch-free, and those who can will operate 100% digitally.

03.01.2022 A well-executed design sprint provides a valuable sneak peek into the future, after the launch of a new product. Rather than launching a fully resolved product, the process creates a shortcut to a well-designed prototype.

This month we are sharing our top lessons learned on how to run a successful design sprint.
