This workshop is an introduction to how teams can use Design Studio to generate new solutions and move quickly from brainstorming to design to stories. This variation on the popular Design Studio methodology takes a new approach: using systematic creativity templates. Systematic creativity is focused, subject to specific constraints, highly actionable, and can be carried out comprehensively by a small team. Teams gain all the benefits of a design studio, such as shared understanding, generative ideation, critique and iterative refinement – but in a more focused way so that a team can, upon completion of this activity, immediately begin story gathering and estimations.
