Design Thinking - Workshop
Time: 9 am to 6 pm
Location: EMMA- Kreativzentrum Pforzheim, Emma-Jaeger-Straße 20, 75175 Pforzheim

Design thinking is a method for coming up with creative and user-orientated ideas and solutions in a short space of time. Companies such as Google, SAP and Facebook use this method to find innovations.
The one-day workshop is aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises and craft businesses that would like to familiarise themselves with the Design Thinking method, strive for innovation processes and are looking for new ways to develop user-oriented products and services. The workshop teaches the effectiveness and areas of application of the Design Thinking method in theory and practice. Participants will familiarise themselves with the advantages of this approach by means of a practical task. The first possible applications will then be outlined and discussed individually.
At the end of the workshop, participants will receive a handout and a detailed certificate of attendance. No previous knowledge is required. The one-day workshop will take place on two dates in 2017 at EMMA - Kreativzentrum Pforzheim.
The workshop is organised by Abertausend - Büro für methodische Innovationsprovokation. The innovation provocateurs from Stuttgart are specialists in creative methods and design thinking and support companies in the field of innovation both in an advisory capacity and during implementation.
