Plan and facilitate design thinking workshops

Use this design thinking workshop template to plan and facilitate a multi-day design thinking session that helps teams understand a complex challenge and collaboratively generate innovative solutions. This design thinking template guides participants through structured activities — from problem framing to ideation — so teams can move from ambiguity to actionable ideas.
The outcome of this workshop is a prioritized set of solution concepts informed by shared insights. Teams use these outputs to align stakeholders, evaluate opportunities, and decide what ideas to move forward for validation or execution.
Frame the challenge and align participants on goals, scope, and success criteria for the design thinking workshop.
Guide participants through discovery and sense-making activities to surface insights, assumptions, and patterns related to the problem space.
Plan asynchronous time between workshops for facilitators to synthesize outputs, identify themes, and refine focus areas for ideation.
Run ideation-focused design thinking exercises that help teams generate, develop, and visualize solution concepts.
Review, cluster, and prioritize ideas so stakeholders can evaluate which concepts to advance after the design thinking session.
Exploring a new product or service opportunity by aligning cross-functional teams around user needs and early concepts.
Reframing a complex business challenge where teams need structured design thinking facilitation to move beyond obvious solutions.
Running a distributed innovation workshop with participants across regions who need a shared, collaborative workspace.
