• Apply Design Thinking principles to leadership and HR scenarios.
• Promote a culture of innovation within tech teams.

Overview:

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

In today's increasingly complex landscape, we encounter challenges that demand specialized strategies. Design Thinking offers a robust framework for navigating these complexities. By mastering this approach, individuals can tackle difficult problems more effectively, enhance communication, improve persuasion, boost business outcomes, and elevate both organizational and personal performance.

• Core Mechanics of DT: Learning from users and the problem context, identifying patterns, designing a model (accommodating model drift), testing the model, evaluating results, and re-engineering as necessary.
• The intersection of DT, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
• DT methodologies and tools: personas, stakeholder mapping, customer journey maps, service blueprints, and business model innovation.
• Practical applications of DT: cultivating a design mindset, driving disruptive innovation, adopting an iterative approach, utilizing agile estimation techniques, and fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, leadership readiness, and communication skills. Additionally, it enhances technological fluency, forward-thinking capabilities, intercultural and ethical competence, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiation abilities, and conflict resolution skills.

Objectives:

• To gain a deep understanding of the fundamentals and subtleties of Design Thinking.
• To explore key concepts, factors, theories, types, and models within the DT framework.
• To experiment with, experience, and practice Design Thinking techniques.

Delivery:

This training course spans one day (4 hours) and comprises:

• Lectures (40% - presenting theories, concepts, models, and facilitating interactions),
• Group exercises (30% - focusing on group dynamics, games, discussions, and mock conflict resolution scenarios),
• Individual activities (15% - writing, designing, and peer discussions)
• And supplementary materials (15% - videos and readings).

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