At next Wednesday’s Tea Bar Beer Pub we’ll be talking about Design Thinking Practices. Let’s appreciate that we have all different levels of experience - Design Thinkers and non Design Thinkers. Bring your questions, exchange favourite methods and tell your secret tricks! Anything is welcome. Leadership… one word with multiple interpretations. It is one of those topics which brings up strong emotions and has the potential to result in hours of debate. Join us as we unpack this topic further – whether you consider yourself to be a leader or not. We will explore the key aspects that are essential in developing one’s leadership presence. In doing so, we will examine the definition of leadership, key traits and characteristics of effective leadership, leadership styles, and how we follow the leader. Join us for an interactive session with activities, as we engage in individual and collective exploration and reflection, as we get a better sense as to: What maketh the leader?

So much of our daily interaction is powered by non-verbal communication however this is more complex in the virtual COVID world. Together with the WWJ community, inspired by examples from the online non-verbal toolkit, we will start creating a non-verbal dictionary for online design thinking sessions. The way we collaborate while working is what forms the culture of organisations – whether we aim for that or not. In this session, we will look at how organisations are evolving; and at how the practice of design or innovation in the organisation plays a role in that change. Importantly, it is not just the outputs of such innovation or design projects which drives change, but the very existence of this kind of work – and the way it happens – that shapes cultures and is shaped by them. What kind of cultures do design and innovation activity help shape, and what kind of cultures let our work flourish? And how do our facilitation, collaboration and leadership choices contribute? In this session we will draw on activities of applied improvisation to not only discuss, but explore and experience different cultural pressures Visual Mapping by Fieke Sluijs Resource
