Co-creation, ideation & innovation
Learn how to extract knowledge and ideas from a diverse range of people to create remarkable customer experiences.
Course description
The talent and knowledge within your organisation (or your clients’ organisations) can be a great asset… if it can be unleashed creatively and collaboratively. You need to unlock the creativity from subject matter experts who don’t usually get involved with such things, and get those that normally do to approach solution forming from a wider or completely different perspective altogether. You also need to unlock people from their own assumptions and pet solutions and get people working together to share, co-create and ultimately co-own resulting solutions.
This course takes you through a whole workshop process to do exactly this. You will participate in a full end-to-end program of activities learning by trying out a number of representative techniques for real.
It’s fun, it’s interactive and you’ll meet interesting people to exchange ideas and experiences with. By the end of the course you will have produced something worthwhile and will go back to your desk armed with weapons (and a few dinner party tricks) to impress your colleagues and friends.
Is it for you?

About your trainer
Jon holds a DPhil. in Visual and Computational Neuroscience from Oxford University. Jon is a former invited expert for the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) and former editor-in-chief of the Usability Professionals Association newsletter.
In 1999, Jon escaped the cosy confines of academia and co-founded Bunnyfoot. He likes to keep hands-on with client work where possible (his recent projects include Boden, Microsoft, Cotswold Outdoors, M&S) but is also in-demand from national and international conferences and training courses.
I would definitely recommend this course to others! Jon is very knowledgeable and this came across in the course. Being a newbie to the whole area I wasn’t made to feel stupid or silly when asking questions – in fact, I was encouraged to do so.
Team is very attentive and helpful. The trainer was engaging and I enjoyed the day.
