EMPATHY & EXPERIENCE DESIGN

Audience: Teams, Designers, Product Managers
Our signature workshop emphasizes the concepts of empathy and the gift as springboards for the design process, and teaches the art of asking powerful questions that open dialogue. Using Odyssey Works’ singular interview process, these workshops explore how to develop a space of curiosity and intimacy to foster real collaboration and to develop a culture of common purpose. Each attendee designs and receives a bespoke designed experience.

DIAGRAMMING

Audience: Designers, Project Managers
This workshop teaches participants how to use diagrams both as a process tool and as a communication strategy. Beginning with the intended affect, we work backwards to create a map of the arc of an experience, whether that's the user experience of your latest product, an organizational structure, or a bespoke event for a loved one.
