Overview:

The Design Thinking (DT) process comprises five distinct stages: empathize, define the problem, ideate, prototype, and test.

In today's increasingly complex world, we encounter challenges that demand specialized approaches. Design Thinking serves as a powerful tool for navigating these complexities. By mastering design thinking, you can effectively manage difficult problems, communicate more clearly, persuade more efficiently, improve business outcomes, and enhance both organizational and personal performance.

• How DT works: Learn from people and problems, identify patterns, design a model (accounting for model drift), test the model, evaluate it, and re-engineer as necessary.
• The relationship between DT, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
• DT methods and tools: Personas, stakeholder maps, customer journey maps, service blueprints, and business model innovation.
• Application of DT: Fostering a design mindset, driving disruptive innovation, adopting an iterative approach, using agile estimation techniques, applying critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, leadership readiness, communication skills, technology savvy, forward thinking, intercultural and ethical competency, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiating skills, and conflict resolution.

Objectives:

• To understand the fundamentals and nuances of DT
• To explore key concepts, factors, theories, types, and models in DT
• To experiment, experience, and practice DT

Delivery:

This is a one-day (4 hours) training course consisting of:

• lectures (40% - presentation of theories, concepts, models, and interactions),
• group exercises (30% - group dynamics, games, group discussion, and mock-conflict resolution exercises),
• individual activities (15% - writing, designing and peer discussion)
• and others (15% - videos, reading).

Note: Due to the nature of this course, there is a minimum group size of 3

Design Thinking is a globally recognised methodology for creating innovative services, processes, and products.

At the heart of Design Thinking is the human element. The essence of the method lies in properly defining the problem and focusing on the real needs of the end-user. Recognising this key difference helps mitigate the risk of failure.

The primary objective of the training is to understand the practical application of the method in daily work.
