Design Thinking: Innovation & Creative Problem Solving
4 HoursOverview:
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:
