Doodle Design’s Post

20 startups from diverse industries are here for Google for Startups in Vietnam. We can feel the drive, the passion and the purpose. Truly inspiring and a privilege for Chris Elkin and Nhu Vo at Doodle Design to be their mentors. There are many moving parts in starting a business. Hopefully with collected mentors that Google for Startups in Vietnam has put together, we can help you connect all the dots to head to winning direction. Today, we introduced to our startups #designthinking and key innovators’ mindsets. We stretched the importance of starting with customers and work backward to define experiences, services, products and technology. We encouraged everyone to be better creative problem framers and solvers. Ask creative questions. Form hypothesis. Spark creative solutions. Starting a business is a journey that tests our clarity, and ability to navigate through chaos. Embrace chaos and enjoy the journey to make your startups a sustainable success.

Delighted to host more than 50 of Vietnam’s leading healthcare professionals in our annual #HealthcareReimagine series with our partners Hawkins Pham from VNG Corporation, Hung Phan from Papaya & Luke Treloar from KPMG. We are excited for a patient- centric, collaborative & imaginative co-creation workshop. The white paper will be published based on today’s initiatives. Stay tuned! DoodleA Nhu Vo Chris Elkin #DesignThinking #HealthcareReimagine

From the strategic standpoint, rushing to create solutions and not taking enough time in problem space to truly understand and identify untapped opportunities is what causes the most waste of time and resources. Problem reframing is one of the most overlooked strategies. Let's delve into the case of Home Credit Vietnam, Vietnam’s leading FinTech, to deepen our learnings on the process of framing problems strategically.
