Creative and innovative – solution-oriented work with design thinking
Multifaceted interdisciplinarity at bifa
For over 15 years, interdisciplinary project work at bifa has been characterised by collaboration with social and communication scientists.
Particular emphasis is placed on the use of creativity-promoting and innovative methods that are tailored to specific workshop topics and content or developed specifically for this purpose. The methodological work is based on experience, a comprehensive repertoire of methods, and trained intuition. Design thinking is one example of the diverse range of methods available. It is a user-centred process that helps to develop innovative solutions through interactive phases: understanding, observing, defining a point of view, developing ideas, building prototypes, and testing. As part of the process, a wide variety of creativity and coaching tools are used for rapid idea generation, such as the Walt Disney method, the lotus flower technique or LEGO® Serious Play®. Through trial and error, feedback and further development of ideas, we obtain results that are practical, sustainable, and future-oriented.
