 * Crash Course in Design Thinking: Techniques for Generating Ideas for Crowd Funding Campaigns**

Beth Kanter (USA)

This interactive and fun session will explore the world of crowd funding, small individual giving online, powered by social media and networks. Master Trainer Beth Kanter will facilitate a mini-innovation lab that uses structured problem-solving and ideation facilitation techniques that will help participants collectively brainstorm and prototype concepts for crowd-funding campaigns. Not only will you get an opportunity to come up with a great idea or two for a crowd funding campaign with your peers, but facilitating a mini-innovation is something you take back to your organization and use for any strategy development session. Kanter is trained in the Luma Institute methods and has facilitated many design labs for nonprofits to come up with break through strategies. She will model and share her tips on using this approach.

Learning outcomes: Understand the basic concepts and best practices for crowdfunding campaigns Experience and apply design thinking processes to a crowdfunding campaign strategy session Learn tips for facilitating your own design thinking process back at your organization
