How to innovate through online collaboration

Leeds University Business School

Struggling to innovate online? We'll show you how to collaborate digitally with stakeholders to deliver innovative and creative solutions

As part of our Digital Series run in conjunction with Leeds Digital Festival, this webinar will help those who have found remote working to be a barrier to new ideas and products.

Summary

In an increasingly digital world, there are pros and cons to developing innovation and new solutions online. Yes, we can bring together diverse stakeholders from different locations without the time, cost and sustainability impacts of travel. But can we generate empathy for those we’re developing solutions for and foster collaboration with the wider team?

‘Design Thinking’ techniques are used by many organisations to understand challenges, build empathy with customers and end users, generate ideas, create prototypes and much more. Traditionally used in physical spaces, Design Thinking can work equally well online – by tailoring the process to use an appropriate technology platform which addresses the needs of the people taking part.

Over the past year, Tony Morgan has worked with students and companies to facilitate dozens of (often parallel) online innovation projects. In this engaging session, he’ll demonstrate how advanced digital collaboration tools such as Mural and Miro can be combined with familiar tools such as Zoom to make innovation and Design Thinking work successfully online. 

Who should attend

This webinar is ideal for anybody working in product development, user experience, customer journeys, change management and digital transformation. Or even for somebody who is simply looking for new ways to bring innovation and Design Thinking into their teams or business.
