Accenture Design Thinking
On Monday 21 January, the Lower Sixth spent the morning with 15 executives from Accenture, learning about ‘Design Thinking’, the creative problem-solving process they use with their clients to innovate and bring new products to the market place. Not only was this a great opportunity to understand an important process in the innovation space, it feeds in directly to a module in the Digital Inquiry course many of our Lower Sixth pupils are undertaking. The morning was spent learning from a range of Accenture’s staff who meet with and work alongside a wide range of clients in different fields. To give focus to the day, pupils were invited to design new ways of fundraising for school charities, and it is hoped that some of these ideas may be developed further over the coming months. Accenture also offered the opportunity for some of our pupils to head up to their London office to have a tour of their Innovation centre and learn more about the process of working with their clients and bringing new ideas to life.
