CONNECTS: Uncovering Ideas with Strategic Design

​Presenter: Megan Guidi, Open/CMU

​This seminar is recommended for anyone participating in the McGinnis Venture Competition.

​“That’s a great idea!” is an exclamation we’d all like to hear from our leaders, instructors, investors and users. But are great ideas just lucky strikes? Or is there a structured way to explore possibilities and generate ideas? In this seminar, we’ll focus on the types of strategic design methods used to uncover ideas, discuss how to implement these in your own practice and try one or two!

​You’ll:

• ​Learn how to identify where you are in the process of having a “great idea”

• ​Appropriately target methods to your work

• ​Get FREE access to a virtual strategic design tool-kit

​Please come ready to follow-along and participate in interactive activities (this will not be a passive session).
