Original Question - I have tried Miro, and it was kind of exhausting to teach everyone the tool before starting the whole process, Can you suggest any other way maybe as an ice breaker? And also any other tools than Miro and Mural?

The Digital Entrepreneur Leadership Forum (DELF) OZ Virtual Webinar Series – Oct 12th 2020 – hosted by Mindset of Design, Wellington New Zealand

Design Thinking 2.0 with Hal(MediaSense) and James (Facebook)

In this Design Thinking 2.0 session, Hal Josephson (Founder of MediaSense™ and Program Chair for Project Connect: Great Minds Thinking Differently) will chat with his son in San Francisco, James who is a Product Designer at Facebook and Master’s Degree candidate in Stanford’s d.school Design Impact program. Topics will range from trends in design thinking, challenges amidst Covid 19 and best practices for achieving superlative, impactful results.

Good design makes a HUGE difference. A 10-year study of the Standard & Poor’s index shows design-led companies outperformed other organisations by over 200%.

If you google “Design Thinking” process you will come up with enough results to keep you reading for days. The good news is that there is a lot of information out there for anyone looking to better understand what is design thinking? and how it can be put to practice in design prototyping processes.

Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO, an exemplar Silicon Valley firm fully immersed in design thinking methodology says “The myth of innovation is that brilliant ideas leap fully formed from the minds of geniuses. The reality is that most innovations come from a process of rigorous examination through which great ideas are identified and developed before being realized as new product/service offerings and/or capabilities.”

Design Thinking is not solely about solving problems but about creating optimal solutions that are sustainable over time. A goal is to create solutions that are so well-thought-out that others may see your solution by design as an elegant response to a problem, project or challenge.

What is DELF OZ virtual 2020?
The Digital Entrepreneur’s Leadership Forum (DELF) is a thought leader's event which has been running since early 2000 in Hong Kong at the Cyberport digital technology science park. In 2020, New Ventures Australia is excited to announce our partnership with international thought leadership event Producer Hal Josephson of MediaSense in order to host a DELF conference in Australia and to attract global industry experts in the digital technology and investment sectors to Brisbane, Queensland.
However, as a result of the Covid-19 crisis, we are pivoting proactively to respond to the unprecedented & completely different global business landscape. Given that live face-to-face events are not possible at this time, we have created the DELF OZ virtual webinar series to deliver inspirational online events to Queensland’s and Australia's network of business leaders, innovation change agents and entrepreneurs.

To launch the webinar series we have invited international future-of-work specialist Gary Bolles. Gary’s latest newsletter launched to help global companies, SME’s, as well as start-ups, management and employee’s world-wide, better understand the local, regional and global economic impact of the current C-19 crisis.
