About Potential Squared
In the fast-paced and constantly changing world we live in, innovation has become a core skill that teams and businesses need to understand the wants and needs of customers and find new and better ways to solve problems. Many of the problems that companies and individuals face today are dynamic, multifaceted, inherently human, and often have no clear solution. For these types of problems that are complex, open-ended, and ambiguous, design thinking is ideally suited to help solve them.
“Design thinking is a human-centred approach to innovation that draws from the designer’s toolkit to integrate the needs of people, the possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success.”
—Tim Brown, Chair, IDEO
Join us for an experiential session with Colin Hunter as he guides you through the design thinking process, where you’ll begin by defining a design challenge and finish with a prototype solution ready for testing.
