Design thinking fundamentals
Course overview
Do you want to become an innovator in your field? Are you curious about design thinking and human-centred design? Would you like to uncover opportunities in your daily work and engage others in the process, too? Would you like to learn practical tips and useful strategies to apply creativity to your problem-solving approach?
Discover the fundamentals of design thinking in this online course. Through a hands-on, learning-by-doing approach, you will explore the mindsets and methods of design thinking, from generating innovative ideas to applying human-centred design strategies.
Course content
The goal of the design thinking fundamentals course is to familiarise you with the mindsets and methods of design thinking, as well as the practice to apply these in your daily practice.
We will take you through the entire design thinking process using a learning by doing approach. You will work hands-on to combine theory with practice through case studies and hands-on exercises. You will be introduced to our Design Method Toolkit and apply various design methods to a relevant case. The methods in our toolkit will help you to collaborate more effectively, using design and design methods as a common language. During the three sessions of the course, you will learn to move more quickly from talking and discussing to visualising and making things tangible, which will ensure a richer, more productive, and more creative workflow.
