Having worked with companies from very different nations and cultures and dealing with heterogeneous business sectors for nearly 20 years, today our team has gathered a wealth of experience and knowledge deemed of great interest both by company managers and academics.
V12 Academy experience:
01 Listening
The courses we offer begin with success stories and case studies whose goal is always to inspire and intrigue our audience. We allow participants to learn about the most important theoretical concepts and then put them into practice with awareness.
02 Absorbing
We let participants metabolize the information received, translating and integrating it into their own specific business context. There are no universal theories and one-fits-all solutions in business, and it is therefore very important that everyone absorbs the methods learned from their own point of view.
03 Testing
Using specially designed tools and exercises experienced in groups, we guide participants in putting the notions they have heard into practice. Our approach is “learning by doing”: V12 Design offers Design Thinking sessions and participatory strategic development workshops using LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method and materials.
04 Sharing
We give teams the opportunity to present their work so they can receive valuable feedback from their colleagues. The design thinking process is iterative, so it becomes critical to spread a positive feedback culture, to know how to give and receive suggestions to continuously implement the project.
