The course is structured around learning-by-doing where you will work in small teams to tackle a design challenge. You will learn how to use a core set of Design Thinking tools that can be applied to designing products and services, as well as customer and employee experiences. Each session combines full-group discussion, small team breakout sessions, and asynchronous individual work. All of the activities and tools covered in the course in the virtual space can be transferred easily to an in-person format.Learning ObjectivesAt the completion of this course, participants will be able to:<ul><li>Explain to others what Design Thinking is and how it differs from other problem solving methodologies;</li><li>Boost your creative confidence;</li><li>Use tools to gather data, define challenges, as well as ideate, prototype, and test solutions;</li><li>Become more innovative, creative, and confident in your problem solving capabilities;</li><li>Learn to work collaboratively in a virtual environment.</li></ul>‘Learning-by-Doing’ - Live-OnlineThe learning method for this course is hands-on, ‘Learning by Doing,’ which fits perfectly with the iterative nature of the design process. You will connect to your instructors and fellow participants through the Zoom video conferencing application and learn to use a set of tools that are foundational to the Design Thinking methodology using the virtual whiteboard application MURAL.
