Training Design Thinking
Novalist Thinking provides organizations with the creation and facilitation of Design Thinking training workshops, as well as consulting and coaching services.
The aim is to create a familiar, user-friendly framework, enabling organizations to build rapid and efficient growth based on the pre-existing experience and knowledge of multidisciplinary, cross-hierarchical teams within the organization’s ecosystem.
This support allows organizations to focus less on how to approach their business challenges, and more on solving them quickly and efficiently.

- Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
- Product and Service Development (R&D)
- Enterprise Development (Lean Startup & Lean Business Model Canvas)

Consulting
Novalist Thinking offers support services to Project Managers and Project Directors. We design a custom Design Thinking project composed of the following steps:
- Understand and analyze the users’ business needs
- Create the multidisciplinary project team
- Design and organize the workshops
- Provide the necessary knowledge to implement the results
The role of Novalist Thinking is to orchestrate the project team’s collaboration and facilitate the creation of a prototype of the final solution.The prototype will then be tested by all relevant users and stakeholders.
It will provide a solid foundation on which business and industry experts can build the final operational solution with a corresponding project management methodology, such as Agile, Lean Management, or Blue Ocean (see the Gartner report – Enterprise Architects Combine Design Thinking, Lean Startup and Agile to Drive Digital Innovation – 25 June 2019).
Novalist Thinking Consulting Services can thus be seamlessly integrated into the development of any project, as it compliments the expertise of all disciplines.
We focus particularly on the early engagement of all relevant stakeholders, minimizing the gap between what is expected by users and what is delivered by the project team, and reducing waste in time, human labor, and financial resources.
