Design thinking training, custom to your organization.
Change the way your team thinks, builds, and collaborates. Our design thinking training workshops tackle real challenges at your organization while developing internal skills that stick.
Training in design thinking sets companies apart.
Design thinking is a rapid and effective problem-solving framework with endless use cases. Companies use design thinking to innovate, solve problems, and design products, services, and experiences with a customer-centric mindset. The end result? Breakthrough solutions that work.
Teams that use design thinking practice empathy, build research skills, and learn how to uncover the end user’s true needs. Not only does this help your teams solve the right problems, but it builds a human-centric culture that causes a ripple effect across the organization.
Why our design thinking training workshops work.
Not all design thinking programs are made equal. A self-paced virtual course can teach the steps, but may not prepare your team to apply them in a real project. Learning in silos is also less likely to foster a true human-centered mindset across your company. To develop these skills in a meaningful way, we train in a collaborative workshop setting. Your team will learn by doing — not just reading or watching.
Our design thinking team training is also personalized to your objectives. We develop the curriculum based on a real challenge at your organization and lead your employees through solving it. They’ll practice each step of the framework while designing solutions that make an impact.

Learn design thinking through application.
The objective of this training is independent application — your team will gain the confidence to apply these skills on their own. Our design thinking trainers walk your team through the framework, from understanding your customers’ true needs to refining and rolling out viable solutions.
We’ve designed these corporate training workshops to be interactive and immersive. Our blend of hands-on exercises, group activities, take-home tasks, and continued education helps participants internalize and retain the information.

Design Thinking Training FAQs
Learn more about our design thinking training services.
Are the training workshops virtual or in-person?
We offer in-person and virtual design thinking workshops. We’ll help you choose the right format for your objectives and location, or a blend of both.
How long are your design thinking training programs?
We design the training scope and schedule to fit your needs. Our timelines range from a handful of full-day sessions to a phased approach that’s delivered across 2-3 months. Some clients opt for multi-week breaks in between sessions to apply lessons and work on tasks before coming back together. We’ll work with you to design the right pace and depth for your program.
How long are the training sessions?
Workshops can range from 90 minutes to full-day sessions, depending on what we’re working on that day.
How many employees can participate?
Our design thinking training workshops include employees and consumers, so your team develops empathy for customers and learns how to involve them in the process. Many projects include 12-15 internal trainees and 12-15 customer participants, but we can scale up or down depending on your goals and the level of interaction you're looking for.
What industries do you train on design thinking?
We’ve worked with teams in healthcare, tech, government agencies, nonprofits, food and beverage, and more. But design thinking is industry-agnostic — if you work with people, your team will benefit.
What happens after the design thinking training ends?
We help you integrate your new design thinking initiative and apply what you’ve learned to future projects. Our design thinking corporate trainers can also help you scale your internal capabilities by training more teams or exploring other areas like journey mapping.
