Applied Design Thinking Program to assist problem solvers and innovators to build desirable solutions and viable ventures.
We took an Action Learning Innovation DIVE with students to solve a business challenge for Extreme Adventure Sports, wanting to leverage their distribution and national retailer network to diversify into everyday sports like swimming, running & cycling.
From the early stage innovators, idea enthusiasts to the wannabe unicorns, DIVE is relevant for every phase of the venture.
The action-learning labs are designed to accelerate problem solving and integrate new behaviors in iterating, building and testing your innovation - definitely the right way to learn, grow (and win).
The process promotes co-creation by encouraging participants to recognize value in others’ work, offering critical but constructive inputs and taking ownership of peer learning.
Industry practitioners and professional consultants will mentor, demonstrate and guide the team on their Live Projects. Our facilitators are passionate practitioners, instructors, mentors, and curious collaborators.
Leverage virtual and physical collaborative workspaces, methods, libraries, tools and automation processes to reduce the guesswork and improve collaboration.
Bring DIVE to your community, institution, and organisation.
A Design Doing Example to understand how we do what we do!
Are you a working professional trying to eat healthy, don’t have time to shop/cook a meal and would rather order a healthy meal online? Here’s an interesting example of Design doing solving an innovation challenge to help busy professionals eat healthy. You might just find a product idea of making meal kits mapped to the Design thinking process.
“We engaged BDL to intervene at a very critical juncture of our company when we were gearing up for our first step towards growth. But COVID posed it challenges on the young leadership team.
We were surprised and delighted, to experience our team collaboration and engagement, better than our earlier physical work environment.
It is a very unique and innovative virtual lab that solved our challenge.
The entire team worked together, in the stated time, experienced both business and team alignment success.
We have no hesitation in recommending BDL and their Co-Creation Program to drive business growth for any organisation anywhere in the world.”
