WHO WE ARE

At our core

We exchange ideas and experiences, best practices and new insights in order to effectively apply Design Thinking within our organizations.



 

   WHAT WE VALUE

 Key Principles 

 

We collaborate based on these core principles.


We, Not They

We advocate and adopt Design Thinking from a postion of common ground, no adversarial outlooks. We reject silos and seek equality, never impeded by titles or stature

 

Content not sales - Ideas Not Pitches

We openly share content and experiences, but avoid advocating for ourselves or selling services.

 

Participation, Not Consumption

We get involved as generous contributors, not as merely harvestors of insights.

 

Learning, Not Promoting

Our goal is to learn from each other not to highlight personal achievements. Nor are we shy about failed efforts, but prize the insights gained.
