COLLABORATIVE INNOVATION
Collective Intelligence is the pooling of diverse skills, perspectives, and experiences within a group to collaboratively address complex challenges. This practice allows teams to innovate rapidly and take decisive action, ultimately delivering great results. It nurtures a dedicated space for collaboration that maximises ROI by aligning the right methodologies with team objectives and challenges.
“What if tomorrow…?”
Exploring the future helps question the decisions we make today. This is where Design Fiction comes into play: a forward-looking approach to exploring probable futures in a pragmatic way through user journeys and their impacts. It draws from subtle signals in our daily lives and extrapolates them to build disruptive visions of a project and its environment. This practice aims to question our usage, norms, ethics, values, and value propositions…
In a collaborative workshop setting, Design Fiction encourages a critical stance, alignment, and breaking free from the limiting beliefs and hurdles inherent to a company’s culture. Through various creative exercises promoting projective storytelling, we engage teams in envisioning possible scenarios, which they then embody into concrete prototypes simulating the envisioned uses and impacts (storyboard, role-playing, functional prototypes, etc…)
Lastly, through systemic reflection (transposition), participants will identify possible applications within their own structure, thus unlocking their projects and reopening new innovation opportunities.
Whether it’s about pivoting a company, repositioning an offering, or strengthening the culture of customer experience, a Design Fiction™ workshop is particularly suited for professional team seminars, mixed team sessions, or executive committees.

Whether your need is to unlock an internal situation, to innovate quickly and effectively on new processes, products, or services, and to engage your colleagues in these high-impact transformations, our coached collaborative innovation workshops will help advance both your projects and the individuals who drive them.
Based on CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING™, DESIGN THINKING™ is an approach that assists organisations in thinking more like designers by employing empathy and experimentation. This type of workshop, allows a multidisciplinary team to work together to examine problems from different angles, convert friction points into innovation opportunities, rapidly produce original solutions, and equally quickly confront them with the reality of the field. Experimenting with Design Thinking™ with your colleagues means experimenting with a methodology and its tools, but also and most importantly adopting a “user first” mindset and a very (very) participatory approach.
At the intersection of Lean Startup and Design Thinking™, a DESIGN SPRINT™ is a relatively standardised and well-tested collaborative innovation workshop aimed at designing, prototyping, and testing a new concept, devising an action plan, and solving a complex problem in a very (very) short time.
Whether you are expert or novice in Design Thinking™ and other innovation sprints, let’s see how together we can put this approach to serving your people and their projects: contact us.
