Overview:

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

In today's increasingly complex landscape, we encounter challenges that often require specialized approaches. Design Thinking offers a robust framework for addressing such complexity. By mastering design thinking, professionals can effectively navigate complex issues, enhance communication, persuade more efficiently, improve business outcomes, and elevate both organizational dynamics and personal performance.

• Understanding DT: Learn from people and problems, identify patterns, develop a design model (noting model drift), test the model, evaluate results, and re-engineer as needed.
• The connection between DT, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
• DT methods and tools: personae, stakeholder maps, customer journey maps, service blueprints, and business model innovation.
• Applications of DT: cultivating a design mindset, fostering disruptive innovation, adopting an iterative approach, applying agile estimation techniques, sharpening critical thinking and problem-solving skills, enhancing teamwork, preparing for leadership roles, refining communication skills, leveraging technology, thinking ahead, developing intercultural and ethical competencies, building emotional intelligence and self-awareness, negotiating effectively, and resolving conflicts.

Objectives:

• Gain a solid understanding of the fundamentals and nuances of DT.
• Explore key concepts, factors, theories, types, and models within DT.
• Experiment with, experience, and practice DT techniques.

Delivery Format:

This one-day (4-hour) training course is structured as follows:

• lectures (40% - covering theories, concepts, models, and interactive discussions),
• group exercises (30% - focusing on group dynamics, games, discussions, and simulated conflict resolution),
• individual activities (15% - including writing, designing, and peer feedback sessions)
• and supplementary materials (15% - videos and reading assignments).

Note: Due to the collaborative nature of this course, a minimum group size of 3 participants is required.
