KNOTIE Design Thinking Programmes
KNOTIE 設計思維培訓

Most design thinking courses teach a five‑step, human‑centred process that is often applied to commercial product or service design. KNOTIE focuses specifically on “innovation for good.” Created by onebite, a certified B Corp, KNOTIE uses a proprietary framework with a six‑step methodology. While it builds on familiar human‑centred principles, it is purpose‑built for urban innovation, workplace transformation, ESG projects, and community‑led co‑creation. In this course, you will learn how to connect space, place, and society so that your design outcomes create meaningful social and environmental impact.

大部分設計思維課程都教授一個五步驟的人本流程，並通常應用於商業產品或服務設計。KNOTIE 則聚焦於「為善而創新」。這套理論由獲 B Corp™ 共益企業認證的 onebite 團隊研發，以獨有框架延伸出一共六個步驟的方法論。它建基於人本設計理念，同時特別針對城市創新、職場轉型、ESG 專案以及社區共創。你在課程中將學習如何連結空間、地方與社會，讓設計成果發揮深遠的社會與環境影響。

Absolutely not. At onebite, we believe design thinking is a mindset, not a job title. KNOTIE is designed for everyone – from corporate leaders to NGO advocates, from working professionals to community changemakers. Our tools are visual, intuitive, and highly structured, so anyone can quickly apply them in daily life and work.

完全不需要。onebite 深信設計思維是一種思維模式，而不是一個職銜。KNOTIE 為每一位學員而設，無論是企業管理層、非牟利機構成員、各界專業人士，還是推動社區改變的人都適用。我們的工具以視覺為本，簡單易明、結構清晰，讓任何人都能迅速運用在日常生活與工作之中。

Yes. KNOTIE at its core is a set of people‑centred problem‑solving skills. Corporates use KNOTIE to break down internal silos, align cross‑functional teams, and design meaningful ESG/CSR strategies. NGOs and social service providers use it to redesign social services, improve stakeholder engagement, and tackle complex, ill‑defined social challenges. If your work or interests involve humans, KNOTIE is relevant to you.

當然有。KNOTIE 的核心是一套以人為本的解難技能。企業會運用 KNOTIE 打破內部壁壘、協調跨部門團隊，並設計具實質影響力的 ESG/CSR 策略；非牟利組織和社區服務提供者則藉此重新設計社區服務、提升持份者參與度，並應對複雜且定義模糊的社會挑戰。只要你的工作或關注重點與「人」有關，KNOTIE 就與你息息相關。

Not at all. Expect an action‑oriented environment. Our workshops immerse participants in interactive team discussions, rapid prototyping sessions, and real‑life case studies (such as our local community projects or public design initiatives). You will actively use the Be KNOTIE Starter Kit to map out ideas, synthesise insights, and run mini‑trials in real time.

一點也不。我們著重營造一個促進實踐的學習環境，讓學員參與互動小組討論、快速原型製作，以及真實個案研究（例如我們的本地社區項目或公共設計項目）。你將親身使用 Be KNOTIE 工具包來梳理點子、整合洞察，並在課堂中即時進行小型試驗。

Our Level 1 courses are open to participants from any city in Asia, as you can join virtually from the comfort of your home or office. Level 2 and Level 3, however, are highly interactive, in‑person sessions, so you will need to be in Hong Kong to take part.

我們的第 1 級課程歡迎亞洲各個城市的學員參加，你可以安在家中或辦公室，以網上形式上課。不過，第 2 級和第 3 級是以高度互動為本的面授課程，所以你需要在香港才能親身參與。

Yes. Participants who successfully complete each level of KNOTIE will receive a certificate of completion, which you can showcase in your professional portfolio or on platforms like LinkedIn.

有的。成功完成各個級別的 KNOTIE 課程後，你將獲發修讀證書，方便你加入專業履歷，或展示於 LinkedIn 等平台。

Because KNOTIE is designed as a closely connected three‑level journey, we strongly encourage you to start with Level 1. However, if you already have a solid foundation in design thinking, you are welcome to apply directly for Level 2 or Level 3. In that case, you will be asked to complete a baseline questionnaire so that we can assess whether your existing knowledge is suitable for the level you want to join.

由於 KNOTIE 是一個三階段、環環相扣的課程，我們非常建議你由第 1 級開始。不過，如果你已具備扎實的設計思維基礎，也可以直接申請報讀第 2 級或第 3 級。我們會請你填寫一份基線問卷，讓團隊評估你的相關知識是否適合報讀該級別。
