Design Thinking China, 2015, Staples

Over 3 days I conducted a design thinking workshop with the Staples Brands Asia team and a select supplier base including executives and R&D teams. 66 participants researched, defined problem statements, ideated, prototyped, and tested their solutions.  Drawing and making proved to be our universal language and became our primary communication method.  This program was developed to kick start our supplier R&D departments and make sure Staples is the first to take advantage of the surging industrial design population in China.
