<br />In addition to the concerns raised during interviews, we learned that some individuals often struggle to find available classrooms and meeting rooms for group study sessions or club meetings, and the process is overly complicated. Therefore, we have decided to introduce a new strategy focused on a reservation system for co-working spaces. This system should not only support students but also staff who utilize our facility. We aim to simplify classroom reservations and enhance the overall experience for our users. Our strategy will be divided into two terms: '''Short term:''' While we are developing our digital reservation system, we will streamline the existing paper-based process. We will post templates for reservation forms and contact information for staff on the main bulletin board on each floor. '''Long term:''' We plan to develop a dedicated co-working space application for NIDA's members' reservations and to provide staff support. We believe that this strategy will improve the connections among NIDA's members.

Those ideas lead us to form the Design Thinking Workshop and recruit NIDA students and staff who interest in this core idea. We are not making a commitment that we will solve YOUR problems. Instead, we acknowledge them that we will present you a way of thinking, a mindset that you can use and develop in your everyday life, as we do. We truly believe that those who join us in the workshop will at least get an idea and has a new perspective on reflecting their problems. With the depression rate growing intensely every year, it depicts how many people out there struggling to find their happiness. And with Thai people culture, we do not tend to share our story, specially, our problems, to others. Many Thai people prefer to keep the troubles with themselves, so, by applying the Design Thinking mindset, they might find a way to know themselves better than ever, and live a happy life at last.

=='''2023 - Strategic Priories'''==
'''Prioritization of new prototypes'''
'''Strategy 1: New Co-working Space and Facilities - MBA Learn Labs: Where Minds Connect (2023 Fellows)'''
A successful university co-working space should function as a dynamic hub for learning, innovation, and collaboration, catering to the diverse needs of the university community while promoting an environment conducive to academic and entrepreneurial pursuits. Creating more accessible and inviting learning spaces for NIDA students, staff, and members is imperative. We believe that an enhanced learning environment can improve the educational experience and make studying more enjoyable for everyone.
Following interviews, we identified concerns among students regarding the learning and co-working spaces and facilities. These concerns include:
* '''Sufficient Space:''' Providing ample workspace for students, faculty, and entrepreneurs, with adequate seating and workstations to accommodate various needs.
* '''Flexible Hours:''' Offering extended operating hours to accommodate different schedules, including late-night and weekend work.
* '''Variety of Work Zones:''' Including quiet spaces for focused work, open areas for group discussions, and meeting rooms for presentations and collaboration.
* '''Facilities:''' Providing essential amenities such as printing, scanning, charging stations, and well-equipped kitchen or refreshment areas.
Our strategy is to create new co-working spaces and facilities for NIDA students, staff, and members. The first step involves renovating classrooms and decorating the space to provide a supportive learning environment, featuring learning facilities, motivational quotes, and educational posters. Subsequently, we will use resources and feedback to create and renovate the actual new co-working space with additional features:
* '''Collaborative Environment:''' Fostering a culture of collaboration and networking among individuals from different academic backgrounds and industries.
* '''Events and Workshops:''' Hosting events, workshops, and networking opportunities to enhance professional development and knowledge sharing.
From our proposal, we believe that students, staff, and members will be most satisfied with spaces that enhance their learning experiences.
'''Strategy 2: Facilities PR & Information - PRoActive Voices (2023 Fellows)'''
Building upon the potential identified in Strategy 1, we also found that some interviewees are not aware of the location of the learning space or how to use NIDA's facilities provided for students, staff, and members. Additionally, concerns were raised about the information and feedback channels for receiving news from NIDA University or faculty.
Therefore, it is clear that spreading the word is essential. We need to inform everyone about the fantastic new co-working spaces and the schedule for workshops that users may be interested in. We have designed eye-catching posters to showcase the renovated classrooms and their benefits. These posters have been strategically placed around the school, and we have initiated a social media campaign to reach a wider audience.
To sustain this project, we need to establish a team, a working system, and secure sponsorships (e.g., from the university, faculty, companies, startup teams, government, etc.) to ensure that this PR system can effectively support NIDA University.
'''Strategy 3: Facilities Registration System for Members - Book Space Now (2023 Fellows)'''
