Newsroom leaders often have to solve complex challenges working with stakeholders from numerous teams. Design thinking is an established methodology for better understanding the roots of complex problems and opportunities, designing creative solutions, and maximizing the use of available resources in pursuit of a defined goal. Design thinking is often used in product development, but the methods and processes can also support effective strategy design, decision making and new editorial initiatives. This is a hands-on workshop where you’ll put design thinking methods into practice, and become confident in leading design sprints with your team.
