Innovation with Design Thinking

Delivered by Executive Education

Overview

Learn how to apply Design Thinking methodology to address your business's challenges.  

Organisations face many challenges in an increasingly dynamic and volatile landscape, including cut-throat competition, surging costs, and tight budgets. To survive, organisations need to adapt and reimagine their business models through innovation.   

This interactive course will equip you with high-quality, cost-effective techniques to solve complex challenges, seize new opportunities, and expand your service offerings. You’ll address a real-life organisational problem using Design Lab – an approach to creative problem-solving popularised by IDEO, Google and IBM – plus you’ll receive a one-hour post-course individual coaching session to follow up on how you’re applying what you have learnt.  

Through the application of design-led methods, this course allows professionals and teams to resolve corporate challenges and create opportunities for success.
