Whats covered in this Skillgym?
Welcome to SkillGym by Skills of the Modern Age. Every fortnight we bring you a 1-hour online workout to keep your innovation skills sharp as we create the future of work together.
When we're solving problems we make assumptions, whether we like it or not. We make assumptions about what's causing a problem, and we make assumptions about what needs to be done to fix it. The trouble is, these assumptions can lead us to design a sub-par solution - or worse, to spend a lot of time and money on a great solution to the wrong problem.
In this SkillGym workout we'll introduce you to processes and tools that can help you to identify your key assumptions in design processes. You'll ask yourself some critical questions, and broaden your thinking about both problems and solutions to improve your chances of delivering designs that work.
