Design Thinking is on a lot of HR conference agendas but still a big mystery for most of us! Bringing a design thinking approach to your work does not have to be difficult.

 

This session is going to demystify the buzzword and show you how you can bring design thinking to your next team meeting. 

 

We’ll share with you learnings from 10+ years of research and delivery into how human-centered design (aka design thinking) can get executive buy-in, build better programs + change the perception of HR.

 

We will look at the principles and practices of Design Thinking to:

  • How design thinking immediately delivers value and changes the perception of HR
  • A fresh way to capture data and insights to ensure your people programs are designed to support a diverse employee base
  • Why HR is 5x more effective when they use design thinking [Ref: Deloitte Human Capital Report]

In this hands-on interactive workshop session, you will learn how to:

  • Design Thinking 101: to get you started with bringing a more creative approach and change how your team solves problems
  • A 5 Step repeatable and strategic system that supports higher engagement 
  • Ways to improve program adoption and buy-in from employees and executives using co-creation
  • Creative Reframing Methods to test for bias in your people programs and candidate experience, to ensure you design for a wider variety of people.
