Course: Conversations on Design Thinking
May 18+19 OR Nov 30+Dec 1
The power of design is within every organization's reach. Done right, it starts with Design Thinking.
Used by organizations around the world, Design Thinking is an iterative process used to understand users of applications, spaces and services, to challenge assumptions, redefine problems and create innovative solutions, followed by prototyping and testing.
Design Thinking has a human-first core. It focuses on the people who are the recipients of the products, workflows, processes or services you build.
Design Thinking emphasizes engagement, making it highly effective in terms of both time invested and its actionable outcomes. It is available to every person in an organization regardless of their formal role, it is deeply collaborative and inclusive.
In these conversations you will:
* See Design Thinking in action, as applied to different scenarios and industries
* Explore the five key stages: Asking why?, Research, Ideation, Prototyping, Testing.
* Challenge your biases
* Find new ways to listen in order to learn
* Use creative problem solving
* Create a prototype
