Ideas Generation - Design Thinking Workshop
Once you understand your users, it is time to brainstorm solutions! This workshop will introduce you to various techniques for generating a wide range of ideas, including brainstorming, co-creating and sketching.

You’ll leave with a toolkit of methods to help you creatively solve your users’ problems and explore multiple avenues for innovation.

This workshop will be led by Martin Smith, UX Director at Hive IT and Lauren Tolley, UX Researcher at Hive IT.

This is the second workshop of our three-part series. However, you do not need to attend all three. You can just attend this one workshop, whatever works best for you!

All of the workshops have been designed to be engaging, hands-on and packed with practical insights that you can start using right away.

Who should attend

These workshops are designed to be inclusive and for everyone, whether you’re a designer, researcher, product manager, business owner or simply curious about Design Thinking. We welcome anyone interested in improving their approach to user-centered design and problem-solving, whether you are a complete novice or well experienced in using design thinking principles.

What to expect

The session will take place on Zoom and you will:

Learn techniques to generate a wide range of ideas, like brainstorming, co-creation and sketching
Find out how to work together to select and improve the most promising ones
Use different techniques to group and prioritise these ideas based on a range of things like feasibility and impact
Why you should attend

These workshops are more than just presentations, they are interactive experiences where you can ask questions, participate in activities and apply what you are learning immediately. You will have the chance to connect with industry experts and like-minded people, expanding both your knowledge and your network.

You can sign up for one, two or all three workshops. Spaces are limited, with only 8 free spaces available on each workshop.

We can’t wait to see you there and are excited to help you on your Design Thinking journey.
