Design Thinking Training
Design thinking is not just a skill for creative departments. It's an essential skill for staff in any department, at any level of experience, from first-years to back-end employees. As the concept of "design management" gains attention, it's a critical skill to have at the management level as well.
The design thinking training offered by mct is characterized by its hybrid approach to theory and practice. We provide the latest developments in design thinking theory, while also offering experiential learning through exercises and workshops.

Process & Approach
The training is centered around a workshop using a mock theme, where participants learn design thinking through practice. The workshop begins with design research, including observation and interviews, and continues with ideation and prototyping to give shape to insights.

1. Introduction to Design Thinking: Lecture on basic mindsets and techniques
   
2. Mock Exercises Workshop: From problem exploration to ideation
3. Reflection: Systematic review and consolidation of learning experience

Team Building Workshops
In the context of rapid and dramatic change, organizations are  no longer required to be machine-like in the pursuit of accuracy and efficiency in their existing businesses. Rather they need to be flexible enough to respond opportunistically in an uncertain environment. In this context, team building is receiving greater attention as an agenda item by corporations.
mct offers an approach to team building that includes a variety of topics, including employee mindset, motivation, collaboration, organizational culture, and individual workstyles.

Process & Approach
Our team building workshops are designed as project-based activities which produces a tangible outcome in addition to the experience. This is a mechanism which emphasizes the team as a means to an end, and not simply the end in itself. Starting with individual sharing to then work towards mutual understanding among team members, progress through projects expands team performance while also aiming to increase the psychological safety of the team dynamics.

1. Create a vision for your team and express it through visuals and sound.

Putting Mechanisms into Place

Culture Code Design
A culture code is like a set of guidelines that reflects and directs the culture of an organization. It is similar to a code of conduct, but rather than detailing specific behaviors, it defines general concepts that the organization values as critical to its culture. A successful culture code not only empowers employees in their daily activities, but also creates a sense of connection between members. When creating a culture code, everyone will think about what they want their company to be like, and how they want to work, and the process itself has the effect of increasing team engagement.

Process & Approach
The process is typically offered as a series of five workshops for team members to participate in together.

1. Identify and organize current strengths and weaknesses.
2. Think about the past, and explore the organization's identity from its beginnings.
3. With an understanding of the present and the past, think about what kind of future is desired and why.
4. Formulate this ideal future into a culture code statement.
5. Think about how to implement the culture code.
