Solve the right problem — with the people who have it.
Design Thinking for Business Problem Solving is a complete, hands-on programme: teams interview real users, frame the real problem, generate abundant ideas, build rough prototypes, test them and pitch a pilot — all on a real business challenge in two days. Built on the SPARK Model.
- Real user interviews and tests during the workshop
- Empathy maps, HMWs, Crazy 8s, storyboards, feedback grids
- AI-assisted prototyping options
- Pilot pitches to sponsors
Design Thinking for Business Problem Solving Trainer Toolkit by Bodhih Training — built on programmes delivered to 2,000+ companies since 2008.
The workshop is on the calendar. The material isn’t.
Wrong solutions
Built before users were understood.
Expensive failures
Months of work nobody uses.
Slow learning
No cheap tests.
Picture the evening before your programme.
Teams pick a real challenge, interview users in the morning, reframe the problem by afternoon, build paper prototypes on Day 2, test them with users and pitch a pilot to sponsors.
What you will deliver
A complete design, sequenced and timed — so every session has a purpose and every activity lands.

Walk in with data. Walk out with proof.
Trainers who measure before and after design sharper sessions — and get rebooked. AssessAll, our sister assessment platform, has assessments that sit naturally alongside this programme.
Walk in knowing where every participant starts.
Pair Design Thinking for Business Problem Solving with an AssessAll assessment. Participants take it before the workshop, so you can tune the emphasis to the room; they retake it afterwards, so you can show the client what actually moved. Better-targeted sessions, and evidence that wins the next booking.

Nothing quite fits? Create your own assessment on AssessAll, or ask the AssessAll team to build one around this programme’s objectives for you.
That is the design work already done for you — research, session plans, slides, activities and assessments. Spend it facilitating, selling your next programme, or simply switching off.

Make the workshop last beyond the room
A workshop is two days; the behaviour change takes months. Jobulary turns assessment evidence into a focused individual development plan (IDP) — a few quarterly objectives built on real work, re-measured honestly. Give every Design Thinking for Business Problem Solving participant a plan to carry forward.
IDPs are launching soon — the working demo is free to explore now, no sign-up.
