Design Thinking
01
Overview
Advocate co-creative and iterative problem solving.
Design Thinking can help designers and non-designers solve ‘wicked problems’, but only when it is specific, applicable and measurable. Design leaders are well positioned to own and drive design thinking within their organisation, yet there are many ways to define and lead it depending on the context. In this module we make it work for your specific context, ‘situational design thinking’ is key. Some of the topics covered in this module include:
- Why is design thinking so over-hyped and misunderstood?
- What is the difference between design and Design Thinking?
- How does a design leader define his or her perspective on Design Thinking?
- How to position design and design thinking in your company?
- How does a design leader position themselves as a leader of Design Thinking?
