PROTOTYPING PRACTICES

DESIGN THINKING




​We use the principles of Design Thinking to prototype
Lean Culture innovations in products, services
and cultural code.

☆   Prototyping Practices


Design Sprints | Google (Jake Knapp)
Design Sprints are a framework for teams of any size to solve and test design problems in 2-5 days.

Design Thinking | Stanford dSchool (David Kelley)
Design Thinking gives everyone access to being breakthrough thinkers and doers through participating in multidisciplinary teams for radical collaboration. Design thinking uses prototyping to discover new solutions to problems mundane or enormous.

​


​Design Sprints
 are a structured brainstorm based on design thinking and agile development. The method’s mastermind, Jake Knapp, brought the Design Sprint to Google Ventures as a way to mentor the 150+ startups in its investment portfolio.

and systempreneurs

Design Thinking was made popular by Professor David Kelley, founder of Stanford University's dSchool: 
​

We focus on creating spectacularly transformative learning experiences. Along the way, our students develop a process for producing creative solutions to even the most complex challenges they tackle. This is the core of what we do.
​
In a time when there is hunger for innovation everywhere, we think our primary responsibility is to help prepare a generation of students to rise with the challenges of our times. We define what it means to be a d.school student broadly, and we support “students” of design thinking who range from kindergarteners to senior executives. Our deliberate mash-up of industry, academia and the big world beyond campus is a key to our continuing evolution.

Whether our world is to be saved from everything that threatens it today depends above all on whether ​human beings come to their senses, whether they understand the degree of their responsibility and discover a new relationship to the very miracle of being. The world is in the hands of us all. ~ Vaclav Havel
