4. Problems that We Faced
No sustainable ecosystem. Change in
interests.
Lack of experts with experience of
NPD.
Gap between the curriculum and real
market needs.
5. Russian Context
Achieving ambitious goals vs. solving everyday
problems.
Fear of failure and saying wrong answers.
“Measure seven times, cut once.”
6. We Create an Environment
At the beginning of the project, we create
the rules of the game together with
participants.
Making experiments and mistakes.
Questioning.
Generating a lot of ideas.
Building on ideas of others.
Having fun.
No hierarchy.
7. Value to Participants
Understanding of importance of HCD.
Understanding of own creative
process.
Professional development. Creative
hunger.
As the result, we have a community of
design thinkers, entrepreneurs and
movers.
