Hello, Melbourne Startups! moving your lecture to October to serve you better.

In a world overflowing with challenges, your startup isn't just building a product; you're building a solution. We believe that design thinking isn't just a process—it's a philosophy, a way of seeing the world and finding opportunities to make a lasting impact. We don't just design interfaces; we design experiences that empower, inspire, and transform.

This dynamic - virtual - lecture explores the crucial phase where ideas transform into solutions that truly matter. Building upon the foundational principles of Design Thinking, we will explore how a deep understanding of user needs, coupled with strategic design choices, leads to impactful outcomes in various contexts.

You will learn:

From Insights to Impact: How the "Define" and "Ideate" phases of Design Thinking lay the groundwork for impactful solutions by clearly articulating problems and generating diverse possibilities.

The Power of Prototyping for Validation: Moving beyond theoretical concepts to practical, iterative creation. We'll examine how low- and high-fidelity prototypes serve as powerful tools to test assumptions, gather feedback, and refine solutions for maximum effectiveness.

Measuring Success Beyond Aesthetics: Understanding key metrics and qualitative feedback loops that help assess the real-world impact of your designs on users, businesses, and society.

Designing for Diverse Contexts: Case studies and examples illustrating how impactful design principles are applied across various sectors, including healthcare, education, social good, and commercial products.
