WORKSHOPS & DESIGN SPRINTS

Our workshops and design sprints are not your run of the mill usual affairs. We combine our systems approach and design thinking to explore new ways of problem-solving. You’ll walk away from these engagements with your perception broadened, your creative juices energized, and your strategic brain engaged in new and impactful ways.

Successful workshops are grounded in a collaborative mindset. In this spirit, each workshop is customized to suit your particular challenges, needs, and goals. With an OCTO workshop or design sprint, you can count on it pushing your organization or team toward success.
