This instructor-led, live training in Nigeria (online or onsite) is designed for beginner-level leaders and HR professionals who want to learn and apply Design Thinking methodologies to foster innovation, enhance problem-solving skills, and effectively engage teams.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Equip participants with tools and methodologies to foster innovation and team engagement.
• Develop skills in empathy mapping, ideation, and prototyping for solving complex challenges.
• Apply Design Thinking principles to leadership and HR scenarios.
• Promote a culture of innovation within tech teams.

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.

This instructor-led live training (available online or onsite) targets beginner to intermediate PCB designers and electronics engineers who wish to develop a complete and controlled PCB design workflow using Altium Designer.

Participants will work on one connected project, progressing from project setup and component libraries through schematic capture, PCB layout, verification, manufacturing outputs, and controlled production release.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Create and manage structured Altium Designer PCB projects.

• Build and validate schematic designs and component libraries.

• Configure PCB rules, routing, DRC, and manufacturing constraints.

• Generate and verify fabrication, assembly, and mechanical outputs.

• Apply practical high-speed design constraints.

• Manage engineering changes and controlled re-releases.

This instructor-led, live training (available online or on-site) is tailored for system administrators and infrastructure engineers seeking to design, deploy, and manage private OpenStack cloud infrastructures for enterprise settings.

By the end of the course, participants will understand OpenStack architecture, deploy private cloud infrastructure, manage compute and storage resources, implement security via Keystone, and apply enterprise-grade best practices.
