LEARNING ORGANIZATIONS
AND INDIVIDUALS


Checkin

What did you do yesterday?
What will you do today?
Is there something you need help with
from the group?
How do you feel today?


So who are you?

One paper, your name, 3 drawings of things
that deﬁned you througout your life, and the
reason why you are
attending this workshop


Johari Window

During the 1950s two psychologists (Joseph
Luft and Harry Ingham) at the University of
California developed the model.

It is a model that can be used to clarify
different aspects of human relations and
communication.


FEEDBACK FOR DUMMIES


DESIGN THINKING


Draw apples

Divide a paper in boxes by drawing lines
Fill all the boxes with variations of apples
One pen per team that you pass around
10 min and NO talking


What do you think
happened
and why?


Can rules lead to a
more productive
creative process?


5 RULES


1. SEPARATE CREATIVE AND
ANALYTICAL THINKING


2. QUANTITY IS A CONDITION FOR QUALITY


3. VISUALIZE YOUR IDEAS


4. LISTEN!


5. YES AND!

Build on each others ideas
No is a big NO NO!


HOW TO CREATE A
CONCEPT IN LESS THAN
ONE HOUR

- a team exercise

1. Find a problem to solve
Find a partner and ask them to tell you three things
they ﬁnd annoying on a daily basis
something annoying, or something that you want to improve

Pick your favourite, then switch roles

2. Dig a little deeper
Ask your partner to describe their most recent
encounter with the annoyance. Take notes:
Stuck? Try asking “how?” or “why?”, then switch roles
~4 min

3. Deﬁne the problem
Now distill what you’ve learnt from your partner by
completing the following sentence:
your partner’s name
whatever it is to be ﬁxed or made better
the desired outcome (what improvement or change does it bring about?)
an insight into your partner’s life that could help you solve the problem, it should be
interestingly / amusingly / ironically,

4. Sketch a solution
Draw an ambitious solution to your partnerʼs problem,
then give it a name

5. Present back & choose
Present
Take the problems and solutions youʼve deﬁned,
sketched and named and present these back to your
group (1 minute each).

Vote
As a group, vote for the individual problem/solution
you now want to take forward to solve as a group.
Weʼre looking for one to develop further as a
group within a sketch brainstorm

min

6. Sketch brainstorm
Sit in silence and sketch as many propositions
that might solve the problem.
When you have sketched something, hold it up
and explain it to the group before placing it in the middle and
sketching another one.

Sketch the way these propositions might work as:
• A web application on a desktop, in a browser
• Mobile/portable products or services on a phone or tablet
• Something else - donʼt feel limited by ʻdevicesʼ or
ʻplatformsʼ. Perhaps your idea exists across the digital
and physical world (e.g. as a book as well as a digital
service; as an installation, wall or screen)
~20 min

7. Review & create a
Minimum Viable Product
Lay out all of the propositions you just sketched and decide
which one is the strongest.
For the solution write down:
core feature 1
core feature 2
core feature 3

Name of digital service
Technical device

Homework
Think of what you would do next.
What simple tests, prototypes, interviews would you create/
carry out to iterate the product youʼve designed?
How else can you prove people will use it
before you start building?
