The Libraries of the Future / Design Thinking Workshop is a methodology developed by IDEO and enhanced by SAP to help businesses, educators, marketing and communication experts and sales administrators develop the next generation business. The workshop will define benchmarks and trends. We will show how to layer technologies that can be integrated into the organizational environment (technology, collections, staff, space, etc.). We will demonstrate how both digital and physical collections use participatory tools such as the digital asset management platforms.

This workshop allows businesses, foundations, educators, librarians, administrators and marketing teams to learn how to use design thinking to improve staff practices. Our methodology for planning and design will assist in the development of the next-generation business - including corporation, academic, public, school, government, medical and research organizations. Participants will learn our design thinking methodology to build the next generation business environment.

The organization can be seen as a physical and digital communication environment, a network may face six primary considerations:

• User Experience
• Collection Access (print and digital)
• Staff Skills and Organization
• Technology (connected and secure)
• Facilities (open, semi enclosed, enclosed)
• Communications (Working in real time)

During this workshop, we will review real case studies to illustrate how design thinking can be used. Participants will learn how to plan digital and print collection(s), using Design Thinking Planning Techniques. The workshop will outline the steps required to develop the organization for the next generation.
