INNOVATION BY DESIGN BOOT CAMP

Dates: April 22, 23 & 24 2015
Location: Skysong, the ASU Scottsdale Innovation Center
City: Scottsdale, Arizona, USA

Our Innovation by Design Boot Camp is open to applicants from startups, small businesses, well-established companies, the public sector and non-profits who are trying to drive innovation in their organizations. It’s for those who already “get it” that design isn’t just about making things beautiful; it’s also about making things work beautifully for your clients.

In this highly interactive 3-day workshop, we’ll teach you processes and methods to turn insights into opportunities by gaining deeper insights into your customer needs, how to come up with creative ideas that address them, and using iterative prototyping, deliver solutions balancing what is technologically feasible with customer desirability and business opportunity.

Our Innovation by Design Boot Camp is grounded in learning by doing. You’ll be assigned a real-world practical challenge that you’ll tackle through actual field research, ideation and prototyping using techniques from emergent fields like design thinking, service design and experience design. We’ll put you in friendly competition with other teams to deliver your solution that will be judged by a panel of expert judges on the final day.

The number of participants is restricted to maintain a low student/coach ratio. Reduced rates for small teams from the same organization are available. The Innovation by Design Boot Camp will take place at Skysong, the ASU Scottsdale Innovation Center. Any questions? Contact us.

Why Should I Attend?

You know that you need to be more innovative but struggle with how to do it in practice

You realize that survival in an era of rapid technological change and constant market disruption means that you must engage in continuously innovating and redesigning your business.

We introduce you to human-centric processes and methods that help you shift your emphasis from products and services to users and what they are seeking as experiences.

You need a new approach to identify unmet customer needs and business opportunities.

We give you want hands-on experience using processes and methods drawn from the design-inspired fields of design thinking, service design and experience design.
4

You recognize that you can't change what you do without changing how you do it.

If you want to innovate faster than your rivals, you’re going to have to change the way you structure your work and teams. Learn techniques for facilitating creative collaborations and who to (and who not to) involve.

5

You want to foster more of an entrepreneurial (intrapreneurial) spirit in your organization

Learn from the experiences of first-mover companies why encouraging intrapreneurship is a challenge, what you can do about it and the organizational changes that need to take place.

Understand why prototyping is important

Learn how prototyping and building minimal viable products and services to test assumptions is important in the diverge/converge innovation by design cycle.
