Explore the method and tools to rapidly develop, test and realize your product design.

Part 1.
Design Thinking has been around since the 60’s. The concept invites customer centricity to be integral to business operations. Find a pain point? Ideate a solution. Build you prototype, test it, change it and go to market.

Creativity and innovation catalyst, Christina Gerakiteys, will introduce you to (or remind you of) Design Thinking concepts, provide you with a couple of ‘maps’ and case studies, and suggest how it can be embedded into your ideation, product and service development practices.

Part 2.
Prototyping is an integral part of the making and manufacturing process and is the first stage in taking something from thought bubble to tangible product. Prototyping is not a new concept but in a world of rapid change, the way we do it has seen a need for acceleration.

Enter Rapid Prototyping.
