<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">'''<span style="font-size:medium;">Goals and Purpose</span>'''</span>
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> In hosting a design thinking workshop, one of the first decisions made has to be the purpose of the workshop. For Tanner, his goal was to bring people together who wouldn’t normally work in the same room and collaborate in an interactive way that they wouldn’t in other situations. This is simply an example of a goal, some questions to help you find the goal for your design thinking workshop </span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">are</span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">:</span>
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">1. Who are you attempting to target?</span>
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> a. Faculty?</span>
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> b. Students?</span>
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> c. The campus culture?</span>
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">2. What is the faculty’s current stance towards design thinking?</span>
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> a. If it is supportive:</span>
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> i. Do you want to build on that attitude?</span>
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> ii. Do you want faculty to buy into the idea that this is a beneficial thing for students to learn?</span>
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> iii. Do you want faculty to work with each other in more a productive manner to create solutions to problems faced</span>
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> at the university?</span>
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> b. If it is not supportive:</span>
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> i. Do you want faculty to understand the idea behind design thinking?</span>
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> ii. Why do the faculty need to buy into the idea of design thinking?</span>
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">3. What impact are you trying to produce?</span>
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">From these questions, you can work towards defining a purpose and goal for your design thinking workshop.</span>

Knowing design thinking for themselves will allow the staff to pinpoint many problems that might not be visible to students such as you!</span></span></span></span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">As explained in the above information, Tanner started by doing basic Design Thinking activities, and later, having the participants apply this mindset to their everyday environment. By doing this, Tanner was getting the participants to be more open-minded before trying to solve real problems. After hosting the Design thinking Workshop, and presenting his cart to faculty and staff, Tanner had great response. Tanner’s (originally) 5-7 year plan for his make space soon turned into a 3-year plan by the university, and in the meantime, Tanner was even offered spaces around campus to host workshops by the faculty members who participated in his workshop.</span></span>
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Much of Tanner’s success came from not taking “no” for an answer, and finding an innovative way to work around barriers. Because of his persistence and passion for Design Thinking, Tanner made a lot of headway into his plan. Instead of sitting around and waiting, Tanner hosted his Design Thinking Workshop for university leadership, which in turn, helped to make progress on getting a makerspace for him to host more workshops.If you are ever struggling with your university leadership not understanding the importance of Design Thinking and Innovation on your campus, we hope you will refer to the above tips, so you can become another success story! Tanner is living proof that hosting Design Thinking Workshop can be wildly successful and make a huge impact on campus.</span></span></div>
