WORKSHOP: Innovation by Design

A day of training and experimentation that will change the way you innovate products, services, and processes.

By participating in the Innovation by Design workshop, you will discover the principles of Design Thinking and the basics of Service Design, and you will be able to immediately apply the PENTA Method in the design of innovative products and services to improve workflows, the performance of your organization, your business, and customer and user satisfaction.

The “PENTA or 5D Method” (Dream, Discover, Define, Develop, Deliver) is a structured method based on the validation of Service Design experts from around the world. It is the method that Maple has been using for over 15 years in dozens of successful projects for companies, institutions, and organizations of all kinds and sizes. It is a design method around which we have developed and tested effective tools and specific modules for the Italian market.

During the workshop, the theoretical foundations are conveyed using agile methods and interactive tools. Innovation by Design has a very practical approach and is conducted by alternating short lectures with workshops and simulation activities based on real case studies.
