Design Thinking: Innovation & Creative Problem Solving
4 HoursOverview:
The Design Thinking (DT) process comprises five key stages: empathize, define the problem, ideate, prototype, and test.
In today's increasingly complex world, we often encounter challenges that require specialised approaches. Design Thinking offers a framework to address these complex issues. By mastering design thinking, you can handle complicated problems more effectively, communicate with greater clarity, persuade more efficiently, improve business outcomes, and enhance both organisational and personal performance and behaviour.
- How DT works: learn from people and problems, identify patterns, design a model (accounting for model drift), test the model, evaluate it, and re-engineer as needed.
- The relationship between DT, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
- DT methods and tools: persona, stakeholder map, customer journey map, service blueprint, and business model innovation.
- Application of DT: fostering a design mindset, driving disruptive innovation, adopting an iterative approach, using agile estimation techniques, applying critical thinking and problem-solving skills, promoting teamwork, building leadership readiness, enhancing communication skills, staying tech-savvy, thinking forward, developing intercultural and ethical competency, boosting emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiating skills, and conflict resolution abilities.
Objectives:
- To understand the fundamentals and nuances of DT.
- To explore key concepts, factors, theories, types, and models in DT.
- To experiment with, experience, and practice DT.
Delivery:
This is a 1-day (4-hour) training course, structured as follows:
