I was absolutely delighted to recently run a short interactive session sharing some tips and tricks for the BOP Design Thinkers Meetup Group, hosted at Ignition in Tauranga.
The session focused on:
- Empathy & interviewing. Some tips on questioning, how to structure interviews, and how to design effective ‘tools for talking’
- How to analyse qualitative information and bring it to life visually
- How to set up & run design thinking workshops
- A quick reverse-brainstorming exercise
I spoke to a few examples in each of these areas and helped attendees think a little more deeply around how they get the best out of their design thinking endeavours.
The session seems to have been very well received which is absolutely fabulous! I hope to be back soon.
“Some really useful tools presented - loved the chunking approach to question asking. Thanks Mark”
“Fabulous and engaging!”
“Brilliant, challenging, useful, immediately applicable”
“Awesome presentation Mark! Lots of learnings to takeaway. Thanks to Karl and all involved for a great evening”
A super quick live demo of 'chunking up', a very useful NLP approach to questioning in interviews.
Some of the Meetup group particiapnts working the the reverse brainstoring exercise around how we might make Taruanga a more engaging place to visit.
