Virtual Innovation Workshop

Anyone from anywhere around the world can register for our live, virtual and expert-guided workshop to kickstart and accelerate an innovation project to drive business impact.

Innovation is not lightning in a bottle. It can be taught. Anyone — from any function, industry and at any experience level — can learn a repeatable and scalable approach to innovation using human-centered design.

Now, more than ever, innovation can't wait. ExperiencePoint can help you start or propel your innovation journey today.

Workshop Overview

Begin and advance your journey of problem-solving and experimentation, so you can accelerate innovation and business results today.

Delivered via a video conferencing platform, by an ExperiencePoint facilitator, our live, virtual sprint uses human-centered design to create new or improved products, services and business models.

Unlike traditional sprints that can span weeks, our ExperienceInnovation™ | Impact workshop has a condensed format so you can generate immediate results.

In less than a week, you'll become a capable innovator.

Learn a framework for problem-solving and innovation that your organization can continue to use long after the sprint is finished.
Learn the tools and methods of human-centered design.
Activate and advance a real innovation project to drive business impact.
Learn how to tackle the right problem and explore it from multiple angles to challenge assumptions and develop user-centric solutions.
Learn how to brainstorm with a "there are no bad ideas" mindset so a broad range of bold ideas can be explored and developed.
Develop a low-fidelity prototype so you can easily and cost-effectively test your assumptions.
Become an experienced, virtual collaborator.

Human-Centered Thinking (HCT) redefines innovation as a scaleable and repeatable process. Breakthrough ideas might occasionally strike like lightning, but sporadic genius is difficult to leverage as a reliable business model. HCT demystifies innovation by making it less about random inspiration and more about focused inquiry. By reframing a problem or challenge from a real person's perspective, HCT sets you up to find innovative solutions that genuinely address their needs. Learn more about a human-centered approach to innovation.
