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.
