WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Esther HarcourtSenior Service Designer, Wellington, New Zealand

The 2-day Design Thinking Facilitation workshop gave me exactly what I needed - it is perfectly designed for someone who has been working in the field for a few years and needs consolidation, peer feedback and coaching to take their skills to the next level.

Elaine CampbellSkinny Marketing

Fun, fast paced with awesome thinking approaches that can be applied to a wide range of projects.

Steve TullettPlato Creative

Great day. I want to get on and start playing with it, gain some confidence and see where it can take us.

Nicola HenshawDirector of Customer Experience .99

The 2-day Design Thinking Facilitation Mastery workshop was brilliant. It was great to gain the wisdom and expertise from the DesignThinkers Group team as to how to set yourself up for success. The course was highly practical, giving us practice facilitating groups and solving a real world problem. We left armed with a suite of great new tools, exercises and techniques to run effective workshops in the future.

A day that was both high-level and comprehensive, and made me excited to take the tools and use them in my day-to-day.
