Challenge

As a professor at NOVA University in Lisbon and a business consultant, Guilherme Victorino was looking for an innovative approach to helping people and organizations create cultures of innovation and collaborate to solve tough problems.

Solution

Victorino was already using ExperienceChange™ to introduce change management competencies in his Innovation and Change Management in Healthcare course at NOVA. Through discussions with ExperiencePoint about his goals, he learned about about design thinking and the ExperienceInnovation™ program, which he became certified in and began facilitating with business clients and PhD candidates.

 Impact

• Spearheading a movement of design thinking to navigate Portugal’s economic downturn and reinvent business models
• Helping PhD and data science students create new insights by balancing the analytical side of their work with a more creative, human-centered observational side
