CO-CREATION, IDEATION & INNOVATION - UX TRAINING
Tue 14 May 2024 9:30 AM - 5:00 PM BST
Online, Zoom
Description
About the course
The talent and knowledge within your organisation (or your clients’ organisations) can be a great asset… if it can be unleashed creatively and collaboratively. You need to unlock the creativity from subject matter experts who don’t usually get involved with such things, and get those that normally do to approach solutions forming from a wider or completely different perspective altogether. You also need to unlock people from their own assumptions and pet solutions and get people working together to share, co-create and ultimately co-own resulting solutions.
This course takes you through a whole workshop process to do exactly this. You will participate in a range of activities, meet interesting people to exchange ideas and experiences with and will go back to your desk armed with workshop weapons to impress your colleagues.
