The Art of Unlearning
Create meaningful products and services
What does humility have to do with creating new products? Why is practicing openness important when building a new service? What are we not seeing that could make our customers loyal to our brand?
The workshop
This workshop is the foundation to Human-Centered Design and so naturally humans are at the center of it. Whether they are your clients or collaborators - anyone standing to benefit from your work directly or indirectly.
Our approach to any new creation starts with the art of unlearning. We will go through three guiding principles: humility, openness and curiosity and learn how companies that practice those principles have transformed their business success.
We will then practice new skills of how to actively listen to people, how to hear what they are saying and not saying. We will learn where our blind spots are and how to decode the deep human need behind the information.
Finally, we will learn how to take all of that information and translate it into insights that will serve the basis for a new product or service.
