LABS. 1 Three CI Labs, with differing approaches to design thinking, will run concurrently in Series 1. Participants will select one lab to attend. DEEP DIVE. Frame Creation. How do you solve the unsolvable the wicked problems facing your organisation or community? Using design thinking to re-frame and rethink for better solutions. DIRECTED BY: Prof Kees Dorst Sydney, TIMEFRAME: Monday, 16 July Thursday, 19 July 2012 FOR: Prof Dick Rijken The Hague University of Applied Sciences, The Netherlands Professionals and those who want to experience a new method of design thinking. The Deep Dive concentrates on the design process. This lab takes a hands-on approach: you will work through a Frame Creation methodology to develop solutions to the really hard problems that face today s networked society. You will solve the unsolvable by re-forming, re-thinking and re-doing, creating new approaches to problems that confront and confound governments, companies and other organisations. Over the course of four days, your focus will shift from these concrete problem-solving projects towards exploring deeper issues that inform fundamental transformations concerning meaning and value. What skills and knowledge are needed to support successful frame creation and transformation? What is the nature of the artistic mentality that drives these processes, and how can that be nurtured in an organisation? How can organisations abandon old ideas, structures, processes and habits and create new ones without falling into the trap of chaotic trial-and-error? On the final day, you will concentrate on anchoring this new thinking in your own organisation and broader society.

How do you generate new ideas and explore new approaches through collective creativity and collaboration? Introducing design thinking and boundary-spanning skills. DIRECTED BY: Dr Joanne Jakovich Sydney, TIMEFRAME: Dr Wayne Brookes Sydney, Monday, 16 July Thursday, 19 July 2012 FOR: Dr Melissa Edwards Sydney, Professionals and those interested in learning about human centred, collaborative creativity. introduces and explores design thinking as an innovation method. Combining approaches found in design and ethnography, with technology and business skills found in strategic and innovation management, will offer a hybrid approach for idea generation and innovation. Current economic conditions have taught us that we need fresh ideas and perspectives, which can only be achieved by thinking in new, broad and integrative ways. And these good ideas and new perspectives require a chemistry of their own. At the lab, we will create an environment that nudges and blurs the traditional boundaries of design teams. We will encourage you to use entrepreneurship, interdisciplinary thinking and experimentation to solve the problems of the future. You will use rapid pace ideation and prototyping to bring new ideas and thought styles into their innovation process.

LABS. 3 Three CI Labs, with differing approaches to design thinking, will run concurrently in Series 1. Participants will select one lab to attend. CATALYST. How do you conceive of, and effectively implement, the way you lead change and innovation? Understanding how to use design as a catalyst for transformation within organisations. DIRECTED BY: Maureen Thurston Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, TIMEFRAME: Tuesday, 17 July Wednesday, 18 July 2012 FOR: Dr Jochen Schweitzer Sydney, Entrepreneurs, executives, and all those who are responsible for leading a culture of innovation. Catalyst focuses on how to use the practice and principles of design and language to frame and shape strategy-driven business initiatives. In the first afternoon session, clarity of purpose is the goal. We will concentrate on building a proper definition of the problem space, using real-world challenges identified by the participants. The second afternoon session concentrates on the design methodologies required to turn that purpose into a reality. Along with the specific tools presented throughout the course, participants will discuss the challenges inherent in leading change and innovation initiatives inside an organisation unwilling or simply unable to break from rigid habits and thinking, and bad behaviours.
