We want to make you ready for the upcoming years. Kill Your Darling offers your company a range of methods for sustainability with a young and fresh perspective. We help you to gain a better understanding of obstacles you face, identify crucial needs and functions of your business, and support you in transforming them into strong concepts and new possibilities. With our workshop formats, we not only show you how to implement tools for innovation-driven work and tremendously improve team interaction but also develop individualized solutions just for you – accompanying you until the end.
In our workshops we offer one to five days of interactive and hands-on training. You will experience all six steps of the Design Thinking process from discovering the customer needs to rapid prototyping your solution. We guide you through the main principles of the methodology and give you a lot of different inputs on how to innovate in a user-centered, creative, and time-efficient way.
BENEFITS
* learn to question your (work) routines
* empower fast and structured creativity
* discover user-centered innovation
We are not typical consultants that come to your company, analyze, and present a solution. If you are facing a challenge that needs a product, service or process, we help your company or institution to develop the solution yourself. We will co-create with you and your co-workers while coaching you through the entire innovation process. The duration of our cooperation depends on your challenge and goals. Therefore we provide you with a tailor-made offer from a one-week project to an evolving cooperation of several months.
BENEFITS
* design user-centered products and services
* implement a sustainable business development
* foster multidisciplinary co-creation
Design Thinking is not only a methodology to create user-centered and desirable solutions, it also empowers teamwork. The usual team consists of five to seven members with various backgrounds who offer different perspectives and ways of working. We are experts in coaching them to perform together in a creative and efficient way. In our one to two-day workshops all participants experience to solve a problem together, yet united. Ideas become team ideas and prototypes are team results. We provide you with different methods to empower your teamwork and give you a lot of creative as well as solution-driven hints for your daily work.
BENEFITS
* get to know your team mates’ potential beyond their expertise
* include creative methods in your daily work
* experience outstanding collaboration and productivity
We love what we do and talk about it a lot, even in public. Although we prefer Design Doing we like to inspire people with speeches and lectures around different aspects of Design Thinking and innovation. Our topics vary from generation Y and new ways of working to prototyping methods for products and services. We also offer graphic recording and visual facilitation of your lecture or event.
BENEFITS
* inspiring lectures & keynote speeches for your event
* inputs on innovation, new work & generational issues
* live graphic recording & graphic facilitation
