Design Thinking Lab: the first step to engage people in transformation.
Design Thinking Lab is an experiential workshop for methodology transfer that helps organizations develop a new – more collaborative, structured, and human – way to design solutions for real problems.
Why You Should Do a Design Thinking Lab
Through the Design Thinking Lab, a selected group of people in your organization (the core team) learns the Design Thinking methodology by working on concrete and relevant business challenges.
Thanks to this experience, these individuals become ambassadors of a new way of working, initiating a broader transformation process.
At the end of the Lab, the generated projects can be implemented within the company, while the participants have acquired a new way of working that can be replicated and disseminated throughout the organization.

We propose real and relevant challenges to the Lab participants, allowing them to launch innovative projects.
How the Design Thinking Lab Works
In the Lab, the core team members are guided through the 4 phases of Design Thinking, using the Double Diamond model*.
Through this method, participants move in a structured and guided way from a complex initial challenge to the generation of concrete solutions for the organization.
* The Double Diamond visualizes the iterative Design Thinking approach through divergent and convergent phases. This model was proposed by the British Design Council in 2002.
Exploration
The involved teams analyze the context, conducting interviews with key users.
Definition
The involved teams extract research insights and define the sub-challenge on which to focus the project.
Ideation
The involved teams engage in several rounds of ideation to generate a large number of ideas, then select the most promising ones.
Prototyping
The involved teams develop prototypes of their final idea, which are shared and tested with potential users of the initiative, perhaps during a Feedback Day (see below).
Space for Engagement: Feedback Day
The Feedback Day is a dedicated day during the Prototyping phase where project teams share their prototype with colleagues who are not participating in the design sessions.
It is a valuable opportunity to gather user feedback on new company initiatives under development, allowing project teams to enhance them. It is also an opportunity for all other individuals to contribute to project development with their perspective. Everyone becomes a bit of a co-designer of the new proposals, facilitating their adoption in the subsequent implementation phase.
The Feedback Day also serves to demonstrate the company’s commitment to a new work model, showing people the new cultural direction in which the organization is moving.
