The Ashesi Design Lab is an initiative which combines the concepts of design thinking and design making; design thinking or strategy design for problem-solving, and design making or fabrication for making things more tangible and building out the creative outcomes of the different processes involved in both concepts.
In leveraging design thinking in business innovation, the D: Lab focuses on assisting students and faculty of the University, as well as corporate bodies, with a variety of innovation projects in fields of business, society, and policy such as health, energy, food and agriculture, among others. This is done through the D: Lab Fellows program, which engages the Ashesi community in capacity-building in design thinking; and the D: Lab Consult which offers high strategic value to corporate clients and design experience to students through collaborative work on projects.
These two programs are supported by the D: Lab Storytelling (sensemaking and visualization) and D: Lab FabHub (Fabrication).
