Facil­i­ta­tion by Patrick Kear­ney (PK), Eddy­line Coach­ing and Facil­i­ta­tion

Design Think­ing
is a human-cen­tered, col­lab­o­ra­tive approach to prob­lem-solv­ing that is cre­ative, iter­a­tive, and prac­ti­cal. It starts with under­stand­ing the needs and expe­ri­ences of the peo­ple you are design­ing for, gen­er­at­ing a wide range of ideas, and rapid­ly pro­to­typ­ing and test­ing solu­tions. This method encour­ages cre­ativ­i­ty and con­fi­dence, fos­ter­ing an envi­ron­ment where team mem­bers feel com­fort­able exper­i­ment­ing and learn­ing from failures.

Why Design Think­ing for Non-Prof­its?
Non-prof­its face unique chal­lenges such as lim­it­ed resources, diverse stake­hold­er needs, and com­plex social issues. When design­ing or eval­u­at­ing pro­grams, ini­tia­tives, prod­ucts and/​or ser­vices, a user-cen­tered process can most often lead to the great­est impact while min­i­miz­ing effort and resources. Design Think­ing pro­vides a struc­tured yet flex­i­ble frame­work to nav­i­gate these chal­lenges effectively.

Par­tic­i­pants will:

  • Gain knowl­edge on the key con­cepts of Design Think­ing and how to apply them to re-frame chal­lenges and inno­vate more effectively
  • Devel­op Cre­ative Con­fi­dence: the abil­i­ty to take on prob­lems that don’t have a clear answer.
  • Learn to put your tar­get audi­ence at the cen­ter of your efforts so that your solu­tions and pro­grams are more effi­cient and effective.
