At the HPI School of Design Thinking (D-School) in Potsdam almost all fittings are mobile: much moves on castors, everything can be pushed back and forth. This creates flexibility in using the room and also keeps the heads of the lateral thinkers mobile and so effectively supports the search for innovations. The flexible spatial design, multidisciplinary teams and a six-phase are the three most important features of the Design Thinking approach that is successfully taught at Europe’s first innovation school for students.
