Sustainability Thinking Workshop

Design Thinking is a cognitive and collaborative approach to problem-solving and a trust-building process among social innovators (otherwise known as sustainability catalyzers in the SISC programme). Collaborating with local/international innovation accelerators, the Design Thinking process could facilitate potential social entrepreneurs to explore socio-environmental problems and hidden resources, and to create prototypes and generate sustainability innovations collectively to achieve greater impact.

Design Thinking is conducted in the format of intensive weekend workshops, where participants will go through a series of problem decomposition/re-composition process, intensive skills training and mentoring sessions for inspiring them to develop their own business models that address social sustainability issues.

Experts and advocates will be invited to provide support at the Design Thinking Workshops. The participants can learn from researchers, successful business developers, and/or innovators as inspirers/ideas boosters for further developing their own innovations.
