Design Thinking is a highly creative process in which we seek to understand the user, challenge assumptions and redefine problems in an attempt to identify alternative strategies and solutions that might not be instantly apparent with our initial level of understanding.

Design Thinking is a solutions based approach that revolves around a deep interest in understanding the people for whom we’re designing the products and services. 

During this class we will focus on real-world challenges your team or Org are currently facing. Using empathy, questioning assumptions, brainstorming, prototyping and experimentation, we will design opportunities to test our hypothesis and/or solutions in the workplace.

Objective: This workshop aims to help participants become more effective influencers and change agents within the organization.

In a world saturated with technology meant to improve the speed and efficiency of communication, it is still critical to be able to influence and get buy-in from others to achieve desired outcomes. Whether you are persuading a colleague to support your project, convincing a client to buy your product, or rallying your team around a new initiative, the ability to have the other person embrace your viewpoint is essential. 

This interactive 90 min - 2 hour workshop will focus on the “Influence Factor Model" to address personal, social and structural aspects that need to be present in order for organizational change to be successful. This model will teach you the skills and tools necessary to assess your situation and influence accordingly. 

We will also learn the responses to "social norms" that allow us to "get to yes" more easily.  Some of these include, reciprocity, consistency, social proof, liking, authority and scarcity. Together with your colleagues you’ll get a chance to practice these skills in real time. 

Come prepared with a real-world situation in which you need to influence someone; a boss, a colleague, a significant other or a customer.

In this session you will: 

• Develop effective communication strategies for influencing and generating buy-in
• Discover how to frame your case in a way that will increase the probability of your viewpoint being embraced
• Learn what structures need to be in place for organizational change to occur
• Learn the power of listening
• Utilize a range of influence tactics to overcome resistance and objections to change
• Practice having "influence conversations" using your new skills

Please be prepared to participate in the following (to the extent you are able): 

• Cameras on. (if you need to have them off, message us that you’re there and participating without video)
• Join breakout rooms (in small groups and/ or in pairs)
• Un-mute and answer questions during the session
• These are interactive workshops, not lectures. Please join in the conversations!
