Design Thinking is an interdisciplinary methodology that is increasingly used within organisations both large and small as a way of generating, prototyping, and testing ideas in a democratic way within teams by cutting out useless meetings and avoiding analysis paralysis. Initially used for product and service design, it is now being used by grassroots organisations and development agencies globally as a way of giving voice to all stakeholders, especially to solve so-called wicked problems, using a holistic systems thinking approach. Challenges can involve anything from societal challenges at large to discrete user experience challenges within a specific context.

The Design Thinking methodology is valuable both for researchers and practitioners as it is useful not just for generating research ideas, but also for tackling human-centred challenges, be they social challenges organisational challenges, or challengers within your specific context.

In this workshop, you will build creative confidence through a 'learning by doing' approach that includes lightning design jams and design sprints. Attendees are welcome to bring their own research topics, wicked problems, or other human-centred challenges they face within their organisations to brainstorm throughout the day or opt to join one of the LIS and GLAM related challenges on offer. Participants will work in topic-themed groups of five each and hence we welcome you also to bring along others from your organisation.

This workshop will cover the five phases of the Design Thinking approach: empathy, problem definition, ideation, prototyping, and testing. We will also have teams pitching their ideas to a judging panel at the end of the day.
