Design Thinking and Lean Startup, taught together as the practical innovation toolkit they really are. Perth-based, hands-on, built for teams that have ideas but struggle to ship them.
Most organisations are good at running the business they have. They're much less good at building the next one. New ideas get killed by approval processes, validated against the wrong criteria, or launched too late to matter. The cost is invisible because you never see the customer you didn't serve or the product you didn't ship.
Design Thinking and Lean Startup are the two methodologies that have done the most to fix this. Together they give teams a practical way to understand customers deeply, prototype rapidly, test cheaply, and learn fast. The course teaches them as complementary tools so your team leaves ready to apply both.
The course combines Design Thinking, empathy, creativity and prototyping, with Lean Startup, rapid iteration, validated learning and the build-measure-learn loop. Workshops, collaborative projects and real case studies bring the methodologies to life.
Length varies depending on the depth your team needs, from a few days to a few weeks. Delivery is in person in Perth or online for WA teams. Pricing is bespoke and reflects format, group size and depth.

"The diagnostic was eye opening. Twenty2 helped us understand exactly where our Product Owners were struggling and why, and then built a program that addressed the real issues rather than generic ones."

What separates Design Thinking and Lean Startup from generic innovation training is the focus on action. Both methodologies are built around getting out of the room, testing ideas with real customers, and learning from what actually happens rather than what people predict will happen.
Moving from planning to testing is the hardest part for most organisations. It feels uncomfortable to launch something half-finished and learn from it. But it's also the only reliable way to build things people actually want.
What changes for your team:
The ability to deeply understand user needs through structured research

Lean Startup principles for testing assumptions cheaply
Cross-functional collaboration skills
Risk identification and mitigation tools
A continuous improvement culture grounded in customer feedback
A practical innovation toolkit ready for immediate use
Works well for professionals, project managers, product teams, entrepreneurs and anyone interested in creative problem-solving. It's most powerful with cross-functional teams, because both methodologies are designed for collaborative work.
Twenty2 Collective is Perth-based and works with innovation teams across WA in mining, energy and government.
ONGOING SUPPORT
Need strategic support beyond the session?
A single workshop can shift thinking in a room. Sustaining that shift across a whole organisation is a different challenge. Twenty2 Collective offers consulting and coaching to embed what the workshop starts, from change strategy and agile transformation to leadership development and executive coaching.
