How is this workshop different from Design Thinking workshop?

Design Thinking workshop focuses on the question "How do I innovate using Design Thinking methodology?" Emapthy is emphasized in DT and participants do two field trips (go on the road) to interview people. "8 steps to innovation excellence" workshop gives equal if not more importance to the question: How do I enable / manage innovation? And it looks at ways of building and sustaining idea pipeline, improving idea velocity and enhancing batting average (business impact). Like DT, it does emphasize experimentation and rapid iteration. However, it doesn't emphasize empathy.
