Overview:

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

In today's increasingly complex environment, we encounter challenges that often demand unconventional approaches. Design Thinking provides a structured framework for tackling these complex issues. By mastering design thinking, individuals can address complicated problems with greater effectiveness, improve communication, enhance persuasion skills, drive better business outcomes, and elevate both organisational and personal performance and behaviour.

• How DT functions: learning from users and the problem context, identifying patterns, developing a design model (accommodating model drift), testing the model, evaluating its efficacy, and re-engineering as necessary.
• The interplay between DT, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
• DT methods and tools: personas, stakeholder maps, customer journey maps, service blueprints, and business model innovation.
• Application of DT: cultivating a design mindset, driving disruptive innovation, applying iterative approaches, utilising agile estimation techniques, enhancing critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, leadership readiness, communication skills, technological fluency, forward-thinking, intercultural and ethical competency, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiating skills, and conflict resolution.

Objectives:

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

Delivery:

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

• Lectures (40% - presentation of theories, concepts, models, and interactions),
• Group exercises (30% - group dynamics, games, group discussion, and mock conflict resolution exercises),
• Individual activities (15% - writing, designing, and peer discussion)
• Other materials (15% - videos, reading).

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