About this event

As part of the Singapore Design Week 2025 programme line-up, learn how Studio Dojo tackles three complex projects, as their clients share project stories that weave design thinking, futures thinking, organisation development and leadership development. Following that, experience the Warm Data Lab – a unique conversation method for experiencing and perceiving complexity. The session ends off with a celebratory 6th Anniversary lunch!

Projects shared include:

• Reinventing an education institution with a long tradition by integrating futures thinking, design thinking and organisation development to engage, challenge and support change from both an outside-in and inside-out approach.
• Investing in the leadership capabilities of a local enterprise through designing and running a nine-month-long vertical development programme.
• Leading eight consortium partners to create an Integrated Youth Mental Wellness Centre in the middle of Orchard Road, blending spatial, digital, service and brand elements together.

Illustrating the “Design Futures” and “Design Impact” pillars of Singapore Design Week, Studio Dojo invites their client partners to share examples of their future-ready design practice that integrates other disciplines to create unique and impactful solutions that last.
