Design Thinking: Innovation & Creative Problem Solving
4 HoursOverview:
The Design Thinking (DT) process comprises five stages: empathize, define the problem, ideate, prototype, and test.
In today’s increasingly complex world, we often encounter challenges that require specialized approaches. Design Thinking provides the framework to navigate these complex issues effectively. Mastering design thinking empowers you to address complex problems with greater efficiency, enhance your communication and persuasion skills, drive better business outcomes, and improve both organizational and personal behavior and performance.
- How DT works: Learn from people and the problem, identify patterns, design a model (understanding model drift), test the model, evaluate it, and re-engineer as needed.
- The relationship between DT, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
- DT methods and tools: persona, stakeholder map, customer journey map, service blueprint, business model innovation.
- Application of DT: design mindset, disruptive innovation, iterative approach, agile estimation technique, critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, leadership readiness, communication skills, technology savvy, forward thinking, intercultural and ethical competency, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiating skills, 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 1-day (4-hour) training course consisting of:
- lectures (40% - presentation of theories, concepts, models, and interactions),
