Remote collaboration for solving business challenges with a human-centered approach
XEN UNWIRED brings online workshops for organizations and users to collaborate with design experts and facilitators to innovate, solve problems, and invent solutions. An extension of Extentia’s groundbreaking XEN LAB and XEN IN A BOX workshop practices, XEN UNWIRED employs the company’s proven 5D approach of Discover, Define, Design, Develop, and Deploy – to provide a real workshop experience in the virtual space. Ever since its inception in 2019 – XEN LAB, Extentia’s state-of-the-art experience design center that is a member of the SAP AppHaus network – has had several design thinking workshops,
solving business challenges with a human-centered approach. The simple idea behind XEN UNWIRED is to bring the XEN LAB experience for users across the globe, leveraging online tools and possibilities.
Led by experienced and certified design thinking coaches, these online workshops and demos follow a clear plan – using empathy, relevant content, and passion. The program uses a range of tools, processes, exercises, and activities – designed to get participants enthused, comfortable, and delivering at their best. Usually starting with icebreakers, these wide-ranging workshops encompass brainstorming sessions, empathy mapping exercises, design thinking awareness, and customer journey mapping. Each session concludes with clearly defined next steps and timelines ensuring meaningful insights leading to tangible business outcomes. Subsequent deliverables may include mind maps, mockups, wireframes, analysis, feedback, and help showcase the result of the workshop and the related support, development, and design work undertaken by the XEN team.
‘We’re proud and excited at being able to recreate the XEN LAB experience for organizations and users working remotely. Having conducted online workshops even before the COVID-19 crisis has undoubtedly helped us better align our offerings with the current situation,’ said Umeed Kothavala, CEO, Extentia. ‘The well-thought-out XEN UNWIRED experience helps solve business problems with innovation and creativity, while maintaining the fun quotient. We look forward to many more workshops with friends, customers, and partners from all over the world.’
‘There has been no looking back, ever since we began conducting workshops at XEN LAB in 2019. Now with XEN UNWIRED, we are providing the entire XEN experience using online tools, making our digital presence stronger than before – it’s nothing short of achieving yet another milestone,’ said Manali Mitra, Director – Design & Experience, Extentia. ‘The icebreakers at the beginning, the music in between, and the definitive takeaways at the end through compelling activities ensure that all the participants are excited, engaged, productive, and most importantly – at ease – through each perfectly-timed XEN UNWIRED workshop.’
