WORKSHOPS
Increase your team’s adaptability and innovation capacity towards future work skills with Humantific's skill-building Complexity Navigation Program and customized workshops.
OPEN FRAMING WORKSHOP
Moving away from assumption-boxed, discipline-specific challenge framing and towards mastery of open challenge framing is among the most important shifts articulated in the book. The workshop focuses on non-product/service/ experience design framing typical in conventional design thinking approaches. If you want to put into practice the fundamentals of this book on ReRethinking Design, this workshop is right up your alley.
COMPLEXITY NAVIGATION PROGRAM
Complexity cannot be managed but it can be facilitated and navigated. We have created a comprehensive 3-week program designed for organizational leaders seeking to master Complexity Navigation Leadership Skills. The program is comprised of three modules taught from introductory to advanced levels: Strategic CoCreation, Visual SenseMaking and Design Research.
We offer the full three-week program, typically taught in weekly segments, as well as shorter introductory modules or in-depth programs around each module.
