Overview:

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

In today’s increasingly complex world, we encounter challenges that demand specialised approaches. Design Thinking offers a robust framework for tackling such complexity. By mastering Design Thinking, you can address difficult problems with greater efficacy, enhance your communication and persuasion skills, improve business outcomes, and elevate both organisational and personal behaviour 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 necessary.
• 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, adopting an iterative approach, utilising agile estimation techniques, and honing critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, leadership readiness, and communication skills. Additional focus areas include technological savvy, forward-thinking, intercultural and ethical competency, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiating skills, and conflict resolution.

Objectives:

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