DESCRIPTION
The Design Thinking Essentials: 1-Day Workshop Slide Deck is a professionally designed, ready-to-use toolkit for trainers, consultants, and business leaders. It delivers a fast-track, activity-driven introduction to Design Thinking that covers the essentials of empathy, ideation, prototyping, and testing in a compact format.
Unlike our 2-day comprehensive workshop guide, this slide deck is streamlined for teams that need a shorter, high-energy session. It can be run as a one-day workshop or flexibly split into two half-day sessions, making it ideal for executives, managers, or busy professionals.
Participants will leave with a clear understanding of Design Thinking mindsets and tools -- from empathy mapping and personas to journey mapping and rapid prototyping -- and will be ready to apply them immediately to solve real-world business challenges.
