CASE: ING

Accelerating Innovation processes for Financial Services (ING Group)

How can we support ING in a human-centred way improving services in the financial industry?

ING is preparing for the future regardless of the speed of change. Therefore, with facilitation by DesignThinkers, we accelerated an innovation process that embeds the users’ perspective in product & service development. As a result, we successfully combined Lean, Agile & Scrum with Design Thinking. In this manner, we empowered ING to bring relevant solutions to the market faster.

How can we support ING in the adaptation of a human-centered perspective to improve services in the financial industry?

DesignThinkers Academy collaborated with ING to co-create an internal innovation process embedding the users’ perspective in new service development. Consequently, DesignThinkers Academy trained a team of ING employees that will foster a more human-centered perspective within the organization.
Furthermore, DTA also guided the ING Accelerator teams to develop, test and implement new services. As a result, DesignThinkers Academy designed all of the tool which were used for the individual workshops, guidelines, toolkits, Accelerator programs and flows.
