Innovation Training Workshops:

HELPING ORGANIZATIONS AROUND THE GLOBE BUILD BETTER SOLUTIONS, FASTER.

Human-Centered Design is your Competitive Advantage

In today’s fast-paced world, leaders, teams, and organizations need to be agile and customer-centered while finding new ways to create value and bring better solutions to their clients.

At Strategies By Design Group we help you innovate on ideas, services, and solutions faster through a proven, repeatable framework by compressing months of work into just a few days. We leverage the Google Design Sprint by Jake Knapp (Google Ventures) to build better solutions, faster.

Innovation = “The application of better solutions that meet new requirements, inarticulate needs, or existing market needs…”

….and when Design Principles are applied to Innovation, the success rate for Innovation dramatically improves.   

IN FACT, Design-led companies like Apple, Coca-Cola, IBM and Nike have outperformed the S&P 500 over the past 10 years by an extraordinary 211% (according to a 2015 assessment by the Design Management Institute).

And in a 2018 study sponsored by IMB and Forrester, “The Total Economic Impact Of IBM’s Design Thinking Practice” — IBM’s Design Thinking Practice cuts costs by dramatically accelerating projects… with savings reported of $20.6 million!!

Here’s an overview of the results they saw
from their Design Thinking Practice:

  • Project teams DOUBLED design and execution speed
  • Organizations slashed the time required for initial design & alignment by 75%
  • Project teams leveraged better designs and user-understanding to reduce development and testing time by at least 33%
  • Faster time-to-market enabled increased profits from net-new customers and the higher present value of expected profits

Our Methodology

Our Innovation Trainings blend the power of human-centered approaches and neuroscience, alongside proven tools and methods, to help you, your team, and your clients create solutions and services fast, while increasing collaboration and innovation capacity.

We integrate foundational elements of Design Thinking with simulation tools created by the world’s leading Innovation ‘Think Tanks’ – Experience Point and IDEO – and proven methods to apply innovation to real-world challenges.

Our methods have been used in companies such as Apple, Google, Airbnb, Lego, United Nations, and many others.

We call our approach INNOVATION 3.0, because we follow a powerful three-part process in our training, coaching, and strategy design:

  • Insights
  • Inquiry
  • Innovate

Can you imagine what applying Design Thinking and creating a Culture of Innovation can do for YOUR organization??

At Strategies By Design Group we use human-centered design to give our clients a BIG competitive advantage. Human-Centered Design Thinking puts people (clients, customers, end-users) first, not technology.
