CUBE Workshop: Design Thinking for Social Ventures

September 21, 2013 @ 5:00 pm

Workshop 2 of CUBE Workshop Series – “Design Thinking for Social Ventures” (Tentative)

Location: 1789 Venture Lab

Logic alone can’t lead to innovation. Design thinking is all about working through a creative process, a new way of thinking, one that allows for serendipity and unpredictability, from which breakthrough ideas can emerge. It is about applying approaches and methodologies of design to a broader set of issues and problems in business and society. Get inspired to approach challenges differently and add new perspectives to your work. Get equipped with the process and methods of human-centered design thinking and experience it in action. During this interactive, deep-dive, hands-on half-day workshop led by Michelle Bolas, the Program Director of the Chancellor’s Office for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, you will learn the power of design thinking for social entrepreneurs, why social entrepreneurs should embrace it, and how to apply design thinking techniques to problem-solve and for approaching any challenge. Get tickets!
