HackFwd invests on “Europe’s most passionate geeks” with pre-seed money while offering them support in the form of training and coaching.
During the HackFwd Build 2.0 event, Tom Hulme from IDEO gave a presentation about 12 Ways to Add Design Thinking to Your Project, including:

1. Keep challenging questions
2. Think hard who do you involve; embrace diversity
3. Involve partners in the process; they’re smarter than you
4. Be user-centered; more than focus groups
5. Look at analogous environments
6. Look at extreme users, the outliers
7. Think about the entire journey 
8. Prototype
9. Think stories, not concepts
10. Design everything, even non-consumer facing stuff
11. Launch to learn; build it & ship it
12. Iterate; act on the feedback
