San Francisco is one of the most creative places in America, if not the entire world.

It’s long been a magnet for talented, out-of-the-box thinkers from every corner of the Earth.

From Clarion Alley to Yerba Buena Gardens, there are imaginative people dreaming up ingenious solutions to the world’s most pressing problems everywhere you look.

And, let’s not forget, it’s a hop, skip and a jump from Silicon Valley – the most innovative place on the planet, and where you’ll find a third of America’s venture capital investment!.

However, that doesn’t mean that Bay Area-based enterprises are creative by default.

Many try their hand at innovation but aren’t great at generating ideas and are even worse at identifying which have the most potential.

For every Steph Curry, there are hundreds of aspiring college basketball players.

So how do you find your Steph Curry, that game-changer, of an idea?

That’s what design thinking is all about.

We’ve worked with giants like Microsoft, Metlife, Asahi breweries and Clifford Chance, so we’re in a prime position to help you with your innovation goals. We’ll help you not only help you generate ideas but identify which ones will end up as bricks - and which will get you buckets.

Our team of multi-disciplinary works across the U.S, as well as around the world, and they’re ready to help you implement the same game plan that makes the likes of Airbnb, Netflix and Spotify innovation MVPs.


Why design thinking?

The quality of your thinking determines the quality of your decisions.

Great ideas don’t just happen. 
They evolve. 
And they require that we stand in our customer’s shoes. 

Design thinking helps organizations stand in their customer’s shoes to generate unique insights, identify problems worth solving, and generate ideas worth pursuing.

  • Launch New Products AND SERVICES
    Design thinking helps teams to not only come up with hundreds of product ideas, but identify the ideas that are viable, feasible and desirable.
  • Optimize processes
    Design thinking is not just for products. It can be used to optimize your organization’s internal processes, in order to foster better ways of working, more motivated employees and faster outcomes.
  • BOOST CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
    Customers today expect seamless experiences. Design thinking helps you optimize your existing customer journeys and improve customer satisfaction.

CAROL NGUYEN
Capability Lead, Tabcorp

"I have participated in Design Thinking workshops in the past that were held by innovation teams of very large organisations. However, Shay from Collective Campus approaches Design Thinking in a very engaging way – especially for those who have never heard of the concept before.

Unlike other workshops, the one Shay delivered did not feel lengthy, nor did it overwhelm new participants. However, the impact was still valuable – if not more than previous sessions I have been to. A reference booklet which summarised the process was also given to participants post the session.  Overall, I would highly recommend partnering with Collective Campus if you are looking to explore and further employ Design Thinking in your organisational processes."

KIRSTEN LANGE
Head of People & Culture, Maddocks

"The Maddocks team really enjoyed the session from Collective Campus and each team member gained a lot from it. I am excited about next steps to progress the top ideas that came from the session and the team cannot wait to start putting some of what they learned into practice."

Ramona Saligari
Head of Learning & Development

“The team were looking at how they could improve efficiencies with the work they do and come up with creative ideas that would add value and engage the business. Shay ran a Design Thinking workshop at our team’s offsite and the workshop provided a framework in which we could generate creative ideas, shortlist them and vote on the ones we thought might fly.  The process was fun, engaging and provided some team bonding.”

JOELLE MCKAY
Innovation Lead, Yarra Ranges Council

"Fostering a culture of innovation is one of our key objectives at Yarra Ranges. This led us to engage Collective Campus for a one-day session on Design Thinking. As a result, the Innovation team was able to apply these principles to innovation initiatives while aligning with the rest of the organisation."
