Find Better Problems Course
In this self-paced, online course, Find Better Problems: Creating Better Solutions by Framing More Valuable Problems to Solve, you will learn to create more effective solutions by understanding the problem you are trying to solve.
Creating effective solutions begins with finding, defining and refining the problem you're trying to solve. I help you do that and more with step-by-step instruction and practical templates.
The Designing Facilitation Course
Are you ready to design outstanding events that will engage participants and get the outcomes you need?
Fluid Hive's Designing Facilitation Course is a step-by-step design thinking-fueled system for creating and leading events, workshops and meetings that solve problems, save money, and protect your reputation.
Our Guest: George Aye co-founded Greater Good Studio in 2011, to use design to heal, be just, and be restorative.
Our Challenge: Design lacks coherent ethical standards. How do we practice ethics-based design? How do our ethics survive power asymmetries? How do we avoid designing and causing harm at scale?
The Show: When the recording starts you’ll see George and me. After welcoming George and everyone in the audience, George will share his design ethics insights and open a conversation about ethics and your design practice.
Audience Participation: You can ask questions in the chat and you may even be able to call in to ask George directly.
Interactive Workshop: After we record, you’ll be invited to a mini-workshop about your ethics challenges.
I hope you will join me and George for DT101 Live! Stay lucky ~ Dawan
