The main elements of this unique program are the methodology, real life problems, a group of experienced mentors, and an award winning collaboration platform .The D4x methodology is based on a concept from the US Defence and Intelligence community; however, we modified it and added extra focus on some parts for you to get the most out of the design thinking methodology.

There will be problem sponsors — curious and open-minded organizations, that bring their business or societal challenges as well. Usually, they provide a problem that needs to be solved within 3 months by the teams you will be leading. Your teams will come from different backgrounds and levels of experience, but it’s essential to work closely together, since multidisciplinary teams have a higher chance of achieving true breakthroughs.

However, you are not alone! A group of experts (our experienced mentors) will help you on the way. Each team has several professional mentors who are experts on the field regarding the problem and also help to navigate the team dynamics. Finally, an award-winning platform, created by Be-novative will also help team to solve the right problems together.
