    / About the workshop

    In the intervention design workshop we put imagination in the center. You create a story of the future and design and test the opportunities. It is like you writing Star Trek, but more focused, like a sequence of the movie.
    We have a difficult time catching up in this accelerating. Current models and ways of thinking aren’t capable of explaining the changes that are taking place. Instead of taking refuge in proven concepts, we need to seek for new ideas and practices that are in tune with the chaos and acceleration of our time. The goal of intervention design is designing a new practice that is useful now, not in the future.

    1. Hard to identify real opportunities
    2. Difficulties to working from the future back to the now
    3. Having a story around the product

    / You will learn

    Intervention Design offers a better and faster to identify and explore opportunities. It does not start in the Now and the current problems people face. It focuses on opportunities of not yet identified opportunities and problems. It can be hard to imagine future solutions. Star Trek inspired many innovations of today. You get to build your Start Trek story.

    1. How to identify future opportunities
    2. How to create a story around the opportunity
    3. How to design this opportunity
    4. How to test and iterate on the opportunity
