Design Thinking Bootcamp: From Insights to Innovation
Add new innovation methods to your toolbox in a four-day design thinking workshop with the Stanford d.school.
Design Thinking Bootcamp is an immersive educational program designed for open-minded, collaborative, action-oriented individuals who recognize that innovation is mandatory to creatively solve challenges — both at work and in life. In four intense days at the d.school and working in the field, you will live and breathe the d.school’s human-centered, prototype-driven approach to innovation.
Working in small teams, d.school coaches will guide you through the design thinking process by tackling a real-world design challenge. At key points during the program, teams will come together for lectures, case studies, demonstrations, project assessment, and reflection led by Stanford faculty. After the program, you’ll receive your coach’s support on your own design project back at work to help you immediately use what you learned, and begin an ongoing transformation of how you work.
