About the speaker:

Sterre will be speaking about the crucial role of trust in implementing Design Thinking within corporate environments and how to navigate obstacles like fear and cynicism. You’ll also get hands-on with “Box of Lies,” an interactive activity that challenges your creativity and trust. Don’t miss this chance to gain practical insights and strategies for overcoming the unique challenges of large organizations.

 

Innovation is the lifeblood of success in today’s corporate world, but it’s often hindered by hidden constraints that stifle creativity and progress. “Box of Lies: Navigating Trust and Innovation in Corporate Environments” is a hands-on workshop designed to help you identify and overcome these barriers, empowering you to unleash your full creative potential.

In many corporate settings, innovation is constrained by bureaucracy, risk aversion, and the illusion of choice. These challenges can lead to a culture of superficial solutions, where true creativity is suppressed, and real problems are left unresolved. Through this workshop, we’ll explore these corporate constraints and how they subtly sabotage your efforts to innovate.

The session culminates in our interactive game, Box of Lies, where you’ll experience the complexities of navigating corporate environments firsthand. By the end of the game, you’ll have practical strategies to work around these obstacles, encouraging real innovation in your workplace. Whether you’re aiming to disrupt the status quo or simply enhance your effectiveness within your organization, this workshop provides the insights and tools to help you break free from corporate constraints and drive meaningful change.
