About the course

What you will learn

From business problems to business challenges expand_more expand_less

Spotting new opportunities through Design Thinking. It is not that every problem needs a another way of solving, it’s about how we get stuck when we know we want to change and renew. 
We start unpacking the innovation process by covering when, where and why to apply Design Thinking: a framework for adding real value to your customers and developing better products, services and bottom lines.

Solve a tangible brief and get hands-on experience expand_more expand_less

Dive into audiences and customer journeys, map out business needs and internal or external stakeholders. Apply new ways of coming up with ideas and practices, getting yourself unstuck and free from analysis paralysis. Get into solving with creativity by testing tools for rapid prototyping. Discover how approach and methods from Design Thinking fits into your ways of working.

Build an innovation-driven culture expand_more expand_less

Leverage the power of cross-silo problem-solving, working agile, and developing incremental growth and improvement, rather than dependance on rare, serendipitous  discovery. Tap into the diversity of teams by bringing blind spots to light, and maximize the upsides from multiple perspectives within your team and organization
