Overview:

The Design Thinking (DT) methodology encompasses five distinct stages: empathizing, defining the problem, ideating, prototyping, and testing.

In today's increasingly complex landscape, we encounter challenges that demand specialized approaches. Design Thinking provides the framework for addressing these intricate issues. By mastering design thinking, individuals can effectively tackle complex problems, enhance communication, persuade more efficiently, drive better business outcomes, and improve both organizational and personal behavior and performance.

• How DT operates: learn from people and the problem, identify patterns, design a model (accounting for model drift), test the model, evaluate it, and re-engineer.
• 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: fostering a design mindset, disruptive innovation, iterative approaches, agile estimation techniques, critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, leadership readiness, communication skills, technological proficiency, forward-thinking, intercultural and ethical competence, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiating skills, and conflict resolution.

Objectives:

• Understand the fundamentals and nuances of DT.
• Explore key concepts, factors, theories, types, and models within DT.
• Experiment with, experience, and practice DT.
