DesignThinkers is a design driven service innovation company.

We believe in the importance of creative thinking and doing, facilitating ongoing conversations, and learning by doing.


Our goal is to create sustainable business based on a long term and human-centered vision.

Getting Started

Many organizations are tentative about venturing off into new territory. We understand this concern. One way that we can take a first step is do an in-house workshop for you and your team that focuses on a burning issue in a question format. We will use Service Design tools and methodologies to work with your leaders, teams, customers to:

  • inspire and explore
  • empathize
  • ideate and innovate
  •  challenge and test assumptions, processes and practices within your business, your products/services and or your customer experiences depending on the burning issue(s).
The burning question may not be clearly defined.  That’s okay! It is a messy process and you don’t know where you will end up when you start, but it allows for a systematic approach to creating new opportunities.

Collaboration

We work for a wide variety of organizations, and most of them have one or more of the following characteristics:
  • Open-minded leaders/organizations who want to push past their current status quo.
  • Companies that feel "stuck"
  • Organizations who want to enhance their customers' experience
  • Companies with a burning issue who are interested in gaining others' points of view
  • Organizations that are unsure of their next step, next market, next service/product, or next customer/user
  • Companies that are launching new products or new ideas
