DESIGN THINKING WORKSHOP FOR DSS+ CONSULTING

Recently, we had the opportunity to deliver an online training session for ~1000 consultants of an international consulting firm, DSS+ Consulting. Our session focused on the Design Thinking methodology, with the primary goal of enhancing the company's innovation and problem-solving capabilities through its application.

We guided participants through the Design Thinking framework – from understanding customer needs to prototyping and testing solutions. We collectively analyzed real-world case studies where design thinking transformed businesses by boosting team innovation, significantly improving business outcomes, and shifting perspectives on customer needs.

The Data Speaks for Itself

For consultants, embracing the Design Thinking approach leads to superior results and stronger client relationships. According to McKinsey research, companies that actively implement Design Thinking see revenues increase nearly twofold compared to their competitors.

I came to the creative thinking training with the attitude that it would be very substantive and there would be a lot of boring theory. However, I was really positively surprised - the number of creative exercises, as well as the great atmosphere and trainers definitely changed my attitude. I left the training not only with a great humor, but also a lot of knowledge, inspiration and tips that I will definitely use when creating projects in my student organization!
