We believe in immersive and synergetic experiences with our clients. This is all about them!
To accomplish the impossible for our clients, we take a 5-step approach in all our engagements and assignments.

Design Thinking is a human-centred approach to innovation that integrates the needs of people, the possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success” – Tim Brown, CEO, IDEO.

Our key differentiator is translating the model into individual action plans, and a measurable Return on Investment by connecting new ideas with business realities. In addition to that, organisations benefit from enhanced capability among individual managers to take on new leadership roles and responsibilities, offering alternate career paths and better succession planning.

Our 4-Step Process is as follows:

  • Explain the concept of design thinking, process innovation and the various elements associated with the concepts.
  • To work with the participants on the various elements of innovation and experience the techniques first-hand.
  • To converge the participants into taking on real-life deliverables / challenges in the company and using the tools and techniques learnt to come up with impactful solutions.
  • Handholding the participants over a period of time to ensure that the tools and techniques are properly applied, track and monitor progress and to help in achieving desired outcomes.

1. Provide a comprehensive induction to your Institute, in all its facets

3. Provide basic weekly engagement modules up till the time the students join, to keep them warm, interested and also more geared towards the more intense inputs after joining
