Design Thinking for Everyday Business: Build Smarter, Not Harder

Tired of firefighting in your business? In this hands-on session, you’ll learn simple Design Thinking tools you can use in just 10 minutes a day to focus on what really matters to your customers and make good business decisions.

***

Do I know my customer’s biggest frustration from last month?
Can I describe their journey step by step?
Have I tested a new fix in the last 30 days?

👉If your answer is “not really,” you might be guessing your business direction. That's natural when running a small business often feels like firefighting — putting out urgent tasks and running the show while not having a minute to pause for customer-centered strategy.

At ThriveHUB Foundation, we got you. A registered 501,C(3)non profit dedicated to Small Business success in Washington, we’re a community designed around one simple idea — when entrepreneurs, builders, and creators have a safe space to test ideas, share openly, and learn together, better businesses emerge.

Join us for our next free workshop series: Design Thinking for Daily Business, led by international Design Thinking expert, Lubi Lutz:

Guys, you don’t need a big budget or endless time to design great customer experience. As a small business, you already care about each one of your customers. Only 10 minutes a day with Design Thinking can help you see problems more clearly and test small fixes that save energy and grow your business.

### What we’ll do in this session

• Meet other local business owners and share one current challenge.
• Experience Design Thinking, a method used by successful market leaders to create flawless customer experiences, tailored for you at this workshop to be applied back in your business with limited time and tiny teams.
• Leave with quick toolkit to start your strategic innovation with 10 minutes/day

(Almost) no slides, no jargon. Just practical, hands-on ways to bring clarity and customer focus into your daily business decisions.
