Design Thinking

Design thinking has a human-centered core. It encourages organizations to focus on the people they’re creating for, which leads to better products, services, and internal processes. Design thinking can be applied in Product design, Service and experience design, Business design, Leadership and Organizational change.

Instructional design involves the process of identifying the performance, skills, knowledge, information and attitude gaps of a targeted audience and creating, selecting or suggesting learning experiences that close this gap, based on instructional theory and best practices from the field.

Understanding the five stages of Design Thinking will empower participants to apply the Design Thinking methods in order to solve complex problems that occur around them.

In this workshop, you will gain a foundational understanding to the method and mindset that starts with an understanding of human needs and motivations to define, frame and solve problems. You will also be introduced to techniques for conducting design research, identifying and framing opportunities, rapid ideation and prototyping.
