A Gamified Innovation Process: Design Thinking through Play
Learning design thinking is not necessarily all about lectures and exercise worksheets. It could be fun and in the form of play. In December, IDK organised a design thinking workshop on the topic of “Designing Lifestyle Experiences through Play” for Design Spectrum.
As a play and games consultant in Hong Kong working in both the corporate and education sectors, Vince Siu was invited as the guest speaker to bring a one-of-a-kind experience to workshop participants. Along with his experience sharing in creating high-impact customer centric strategies, he also brought along Proto, a team-based innovation storying-telling game, to facilitate participants in designing lifestyle experience, where participants were challenged to reimagine a new, human-centric lifestyle experience for their users and came up with creative solutions via brainstorming and co-creation. The workshop inspired participants to embrace design thinking as a creative tool which is both valuable in business strategy and solving daily problems.
