What is this 'Microlearning Course' about?

Design Thinking (DT) is a highly value-creating approach to innovation that helps you:

  • discover what people really need and want,

  • design radically-better solutions for them, and

  • develop your offering in a cost- and risk-effective way, to maximize success.

Corporates use it, start-ups use it, governments use it, schools use it, and not-for-profits, too! Why is it so popular? Because it pushes you to ensure you’re:

  • creating something for your users (not just yourself),

  • breaking through today’s thinking with fresh new ideas, and

  • developing your new product, service, customer/employee experience (or whatever you’re designing!) in a fast, effective way.


Who is this course designed for?

Everyone! Whether you’re leading an organization to be more customer-centric, developing products and services, designing or living an “employee experience,” or wanting a fresh perspective on your personal life, DT can help. Just make sure you’re addressing challenges that involve people and are complex enough that you need to learn more about the problem in order to define a truly-effective solution.

Even if you don’t have problems to address (yes, we know that’s unlikely), it’ll also help you build your skills in creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, insight, empathy, experimentation, and more. It’ll awaken that part of your brain that draws, designs, and dreams.

So let’s dream some practical dreams…
