Episode Details

This describes an innovative training program titled "Pro-Pro" developed by the prominent Japanese advertising firm Hakuhodo DY.

This initiative is designed to teach design thinking principles to employees across various departments, including human resources and sales, who do not typically engage in creative production. By following a five-step methodology, participants move from initial empathy and problem definition to the physical creation of prototypes. The curriculum encourages staff to adopt a maker's mindset to better solve complex business challenges.

The program aims to foster a collaborative culture where practical experimentation leads to more effective, user-centered solutions.
