Overview:

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

In our increasingly complex world, we encounter challenges that often require specialized approaches. Design Thinking provides the framework to address these complexities. Mastering DT enables professionals to handle difficult problems effectively, communicate with greater clarity, persuade more efficiently, improve business outcomes, and enhance both organizational and individual performance.

• How DT works: Learning from people and the problem context, identifying patterns, designing models (accounting for model drift), testing the model, evaluating the model, and re-engineering as needed.
• The relationship between DT, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
• DT methods and tools: persona development, stakeholder mapping, customer journey mapping, service blueprints, and business model innovation.
• Application of DT: Cultivating a design mindset, driving disruptive innovation, applying iterative approaches and agile estimation techniques, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, leadership readiness, communication skills, technological savvy, forward-thinking, intercultural and ethical competency, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiation skills, and conflict resolution.

Objectives:

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

Delivery:

This is a one-day (4-hour) 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.
