The key resources we look to for Design Thinking tools and training are DesignThinkers Group and IDEO.
DesignThinkers Group are based in Amsterdam, with partners located around the world. Our key contact is with DesignThinkers Group Canada, our consultants and facilitators for the events we have offered during this project. Their DesignThinkers Academy provides a series of training courses and custom-designed design thinking sprints for organisations.
IDEO is another global company, this time based in San Francisco. They were early leaders in human-centred design and continue to be recognised for their work in design thinking. Visit their website for a wealth of free resources and links to available courses and books for purchase.
ExperiencePoint is located in Toronto and is an IDEO partner. Their site provides free design thinking resources including e-books, webinars, and a blog. They also provide virtual training courses and coaching.
