Design Thinking can help solve many challenges
The COVID crisis has brought unprecedented challenges to the way we work together but also an amazing opportunity to innovate and #buildbackbetter.
At the C Collective, this led us to rethink the way we work and put our design thinking skills to work in the crisis. That’s how we launched our COVID-19 online innovation challenge in April 2020 followed by our Women and Impact Investment Hackathon in March 2021.
​
We brought together purpose driven citizens, designers and entrepreneurs to help create solutions to some of the most pressing issues of the crisis faced by businesses, government and citizens.
Using the power of empathy, user-centred design and digital collaboration tools, we facilitated 4 online 8-hour workshops and produced 4 concept solutions.
​
After successfully testing this online innovation approach and seeing the impressive engagement and creativity of participants, we added Online design thinking workshops to our portfolio of services to purpose driven organisations.
What is included in a workshop?
- Workshop design, preparation and facilitation for groups of 4 to 16 people

"I didn't know what to expect but this design thinking workshop enabled organic, original solutions to be designed for important real-world problems -- and all with compassionate and genuinely friendly facilitators! Mural is a great tool which helped the course be dynamic, fun and impressively productive. Huge thanks to the C Collective, I'll definitely be recommending their workshops"
