OUTCOME
- Participants gained an understanding of key concepts pertaining to driving corporate innovation as well as supporting methodologies
- Participants generated over 200 ideas related to improving the patient experience during the design sprint
- Participants learned how to prioritise ideas and develop low-fidelity prototypes to test key assumptions underpinning ideas, so that they would not be left in between the idea and execution, and would also avoid jumping to conclusions or suffering from paralysis analysis.
