What’s Design Thinking?
At its core, Design Thinking is a mindset that harnesses creativity and experimentation to solve complex problems. Though it has traditionally been used for large organizations we believe that it has tremendous potential for individual and interpersonal transformation. Design Thinking is a core component of our Life Design practice.
What’s LEGO Serious Play?
The LEGO Serious Play method is a problem-solving method where participants are led through a series of building exercises by a trained facilitator. The participants reply to a series of context-specific questions by building their answers with LEGO bricks. In the context of life design, builds are mostly done individually. It’s a 100% participation hands-on method, meaning everyone at the table builds, shares and reflects together.
What’s Futures Thinking?
Futures Thinking is a dynamic and engaging practice that helps you to imagine likely futures and strategies to adapt to challenges and opportunities. Drawing inspiration from Scenario Planning and World Building, Futures Thinking provides a structured and powerful toolset to help you future-test your Life Designs.
How Can Organizations Benefit from Life Design?
Our Life Design practice at Human Things helps people re-imagine their career paths by teaching them how to develop a richer understanding of their needs and goals. We help our clients to discover untapped potential and explore career opportunities that are often within the organizations where they are currently working.
While our practice is primarily focused on individuals, we believe that there is also tremendous potential in working with organizations to help them harmonize the needs of their employees. The goal is to ensure longer term retention so that people can grow within their current workplace with a deeper sense of purpose and work-life balance. We believe that Life Design offers a unique way to help companies make work more interesting and fulfilling.
