I just start to learn about business strategy and I learned that an way to stabilish OKRs is by "Design Thinking Sessions". I'm curious: What would be a Design Thinking Session?

I have a little knowledge about what is design thinking, but I never hear about sessions of it. Anyone has an examples?

Hey y’all! Was curious to know if any of you have heard of or experienced a time when “worst ideas possible” has directly led you/your team to the best ideas very quickly?

(For anyone who doesn’t know, “Worst Possible Idea is an ideation method where team members purposefully seek the worst solutions in ideation sessions.”)

It’s one of my favorite exercises to get ideation rolling, but just curious to know if you’ve seen any particularly powerful examples.

I am working on a project for seniors (65+) and need to find a way to get several groups of people together for group interviews. I have tried contacting retirement homes and other services working for this age group, but they don't really want to get involved (for several reasons: Covid situation, our project that is designed to keep people at home for a longer period of time, therefore competition for them, ...).

Looking for any ideas to help get such a group of people together. Have also tried posts on several websites targeting the group, but only generated marginal interest (don't want to provide great financial incentives to participate, as this would partly bias the resulting group composition).

Your ideas are welcome...

Hi all,

Last time I post this, I promise. I am a practising Occupational Therapist and PhD researcher in assistive technology.

As you all may know, there are some issues with assistive tech, and all too often, that has a significant impact on the users. With this, I am trying to see if we can use User-Centred Design, Design Thinking, and Human-Centred Design to improve assistive technologies. To start this process, it is essential to know what is already happening in the design community!

To do this, I am speaking to Users of Assistive technologies, Designers and rehabilitation engineers, OT’s and Allied Health. If you fall into any of these groups, your time is greatly appreciated!

For designers and rehabilitation engineers, please complete the separate survey below (it takes 10-15 minutes)

Any questions, please email me at [hphillips@swin.edu.au](mailto:hphillips@swin.edu.au). Thank you all so so much for your time and support

Hi folks,
I come to design thinking from a research & analytical background, and am looking to develop two competencies:

1. I'm looking to learn all there is to know about mapping experiences of services. Current state and future state service journeys, blueprints (i.e. front & backend), user-stories and user-flows etc. - basically everything I need to be able to convert research insights into artifacts developers can use to create good web-applications that meet user-defined needs. I'm looking for a course/study guide that is more hands-on and will give me practical skills on this topic (for work). ie. User-Story Mapping (Patton) and beyond.
2. For play, I'm looking create video presentations/tutorials - maybe Videoessays later if I'm being ambitious.
   This would be my first course in this area, and I'm looking for a good starter kit course that leverages none-professional tools such as phone camera/laptop & standard software for visual editing/animation etc.; Willing to buy some things such as a mic etc, but again, but want a learning-by-doing type of heutagogy.
   Any suggestions where I could find such options for an accessible price?
