Stratos partnered with the Dispatch Media Company to train their employees in design research and human-centered design mindset and methods. The objective was to create a new work flow for their research, design and development process. The Dispatch wanted to adopt a more holistic development methodology that solves problems created by their current siloed approach to developing content-based digital solutions. To facilitate an organizational shift we needed to empower people with a common framework, mindset, and language to use between marketing, content and digital design departments.
Stratos created a customized design thinking workshop curriculum that included a combination of short teachings paired with hands-on activities to meet their goals.
Impact
Created an innovation framework for Dispatch marketing, IT and the digital design team to re-imagine their work flow.
Provided a common language for inter-departmental collaboration.
Champions were identified during the workshop process to become advocates to support scaling up design thinking within the organization.
Led to a bottoms-up, more sustainable approach for embedding design thinking into their culture.
WHAT OUR CLIENT SAID:
