BUSINESS INSPIRED BY DESIGN
Applying Design Thinking to business and entreprenurship
Above all, think of life as a prototype. We can conduct experiments, make discoveries, and change our perspectives. We can look for opportunities to turn processes into projects that have tangible outcomes. We can learn how to take joy in the things we create whether they take the form of a fleeting experience or an heirloom that will last for generations.
Tim Brown, CEO at IDEO
OVERVIEW
The continuous transformation of the social, economic and environmental contexts will fuel a new era of innovation. How can you foster long-term growth within your organization by capitalizing on innovation?
In today’s changing corporate landscape, competitive strategies have evolved to a human-centered design approach. Many companies have acknowledged the need of including Design Thinking in their strategy and culture.
Our Design Thinking for Business course not only teaches you the most important tools and actions you’ll need to design better products, services, and even businesses, but it also teaches you how to improve the skills you’ll need to effectively employ design thinking methodologies in your daily work.
As a participant, you will learn through a hands-on practical approach, completing team challenges and solving real work problems.
WHO IS THIS PROGRAM FOR?
By developing a culture of leadership and design thinking—and placing people at the core of their process—successful firms produce engaging, revolutionary goods and services. These companies are always innovating by engaging with the needs and emotions of their customers and displaying successful design leadership.
Learn how to foster a design culture at your company to gain buy-in for your vision and generate consumer-friendly products.
This course teaches people and teams about human-centered design and how to put it into practice. Prototyping will teach you both strategic and hands-on strategies for structured exploration. You’ll also learn how to create an action-based corporate culture that fosters empathy, encourages trial and error, and celebrates failure as a source of learning, all of which leads to successful innovation.
That is why this program is dedicated to experts from multiple areas: product, sales, business development, partnership, operations, strategy and marketing.
