One the most helpful paths to producing innovation is to demystify it – to provide practical tools from creative industries that can be applied to individuals and organizations. This one-day workshop takes the best creative tools from the worlds of design and business to provide a practical toolkit for generating and implementing powerful new ideas. Learn the creative process that will help you design meaningful solutions in the classroom, at your school and within your district.

The framework begins, as all innovation should, with the user. In your context, this might be students, teachers, board employees or colleagues. How do we engage with users in new ways, to build our empathy for them and help us understand unmet needs? Then, we turn to the process of generating new ideas collaboratively; visualizing and testing those ideas to get meaningful feedback on them. Finally, we explore implementation dimension of these new ideas – asking how we might build a successful strategy for bringing the idea to life.

This day-long workshop serves as an introduction to design thinking and strategy, and offers a very hands-on experience in innovation.
