Two Day Think Differently Sprint - January 2023

What happens over the two days

Day 1: Tuesday 10 January 2023, 9am-1pm (Refreshments and lunch included)

Day 2: Thursday 12 January 2023, 9am-4pm (Breakfast and lunch included)

Following on from the successes of the physical and remote workshops, the seventh in the series builds on these unique experiences by offering a programme condensed into two days. Promoting the rapid thinking mindset, you will have time to ask questions, develop an idea and build up your knowledge of the process. The Sprint is broken down into phases. Each phase provides you with the background information and worksheets needed to scaffold and frame your understanding. These worksheets will form part of the toolkit which you will receive upon completion of the Sprint. It has been designed by creative and digital people for creative and digital people.

How a Sprint can help your business

Sprints help you develop ideas, re-think ideas, understand your customer needs, explore new paths for execution, reduce resources by effectively planning time on research and development. At the end, you will have gained:

• An understanding of the processes
• Knowledge of the tools
• A more informed way of empathising with your customers
• Expertise in sketching, prototyping and iteration techniques

The free event is presented by the Lancashire Forum Creative, the team you are familiar with from running the innovative leadership and business growth programme and in collaboration with and facilitated by the Media Innovation Studio's Think Differently project at the University of Central Lancashire. The workshops will be facilitated in-person at the Creative Innovation Zone, University of Central Lancashire.
