Tha’s what you can take out of the certification program:
This course is dedicated to design thinking as a means to infuse business problem solving and spark innovation using a designer’s mindset.
The value that design thinking has brought to organizations is innovation that has disrupted their markets, enhanced brands in terms of recognition, sales and performance, and business adaptation. Design thinking is a means to derisk innovation. Design thinking seeks to understand the problem from the stakeholders’ point of view and thus improve the likelihood of a solution being relevant and accepted. Educated guesses are brought forward cheaply and quickly for evaluation. Stakeholders are able to inform design teams with actionable guidance by providing their perspective on tangible prototypes the team puts forward.
Consistent with the spirit of design thinking oriented problem solving, multiple systemized approaches to design thinking have been proposed to solve the problem of implementing design thinking in practice. This course explores the Design Council’s Double Diamond approach, Stanford d.School 5-Stage approach and the Designing for Growth approach by Liedtka and Ogilvie. The Hasso Plattner Institute uses six steps while there is a four-step approach from the 11 Version 0.6.3 © Copyright 2018 Kanazawa Technical College in Japan. [B2] The design consulting company IDEO has yet a different approach. A collection of design thinking approaches can be found here.
Members of a design thinking team need to adopt a “design thinking mindset” when they are participating on design thinking projects. The attitudes and expectations of each member have a direct effect on the design thinking effort. This course explores the qualities that comprise the design thinking mindset.
The training will explore concepts essential to the practice of design thinking. These notions are integral to the approaches.
