Innovation Workshop – From Problem to Tested Solution
The Innovation Workshop gives your team a structured method to turn complex problems into tested ideas — user-centred, structured, repeatable. Innovation is not about inspiration: the right process gets you from problem definition to tested solution faster. After the workshop your team has a shared method they can apply independently at the next project. One day, on-site or off-site, immediately applicable.
From problem to tested solution – the innovation process every team needs. Including how to lead AI tools through it.
You’ll learn how a structured innovation process works, which methods apply at which stage, and how teams move from vague challenges to concrete, testable solutions. Each section is a skill your team applies from day one.
Innovation fundamentals
What innovation actually is
Innovation is not creativity and not disruption – it’s the successful implementation of a new idea into real value. The distinction matters: many teams are creative but not innovative because ideas get developed but never tested, adopted, or scaled. Understanding this difference focuses effort on what actually moves the needle.
Finding the right problem
The most expensive innovation mistake is solving the wrong problem brilliantly. Your team will learn how to define problems from a user perspective before any solution is developed. A well-defined problem cuts the solution effort in half – and is the foundation of any meaningful AI brief. The creative methods for this are covered in the Kreativitätstechniken Workshop.
User perspective and observation
Innovations fail because teams assume what users want instead of observing it. Your team will learn simple methods for gaining user perspective: interviews, observation, empathy mapping. Not as a research project – as a fast foundation for better decisions. Teams that understand what people actually need build solutions that get adopted.
Generating and filtering ideas
From many ideas comes one good solution – but only when generation and evaluation are cleanly separated. Your team will learn how divergent thinking opens up options and convergent thinking reduces them to what matters. The output is not an endless idea list but a prioritized selection with clear rationale.

Innovation in practice and how AI could help
Through this workshop, you’ll gain the skills to apply design thinking principles in your business and development practices. You’ll learn how to identify user needs, visualize solutions, develop effective prototypes, measure success, and refine strategies as needed. With these methods at your disposal, you’ll be able to create products that meet real customer needs with unprecedented efficiency and effectiveness.
Design thinking is an approach to problem-solving that utilizes creative processes, user empathy, and iterative experimentation in order to develop innovative ideas and solutions. By understanding the components of design thinking and applying them to your practice, you’ll be able to create products that are uniquely suited to customer needs.
