Workshop Overview

The most critical question strategic leaders are grappling with is which business challenges to address using a corporate innovation drive and which ones should pass through a traditional strategic approach.

Problem Framing is a time-tested methodology evolved by our globally acclaimed partners, Design Sprint Academy, Berlin and customized for the Indian business context by QGLUE.

This 1-day workout involves the main stakeholders, typically executive level and business level decision-makers. Problem Framing is used primarily before running an Innovation Design Sprint or undertaking a design thinking journey.
