Design Thinking for Innovation

About This Module

Design thinking is a disciplined way to stop building the solution you already liked. Empathise, define, ideate, prototype, test — in that order, even when the room wants to jump to the whiteboard heroics. Four chapters: the process, user research, ideation, and prototyping plus testing. You will learn to treat a prototype as a question, not a debut. If testing would embarrass the idea, that is the point of testing.

What You'll Learn

• Apply the design thinking process to business and product challenges
• Conduct effective user research to uncover insights and needs
• Facilitate creative ideation sessions that generate innovative solutions
• Create and test prototypes to refine ideas before implementation
• Foster a culture of human-centered design in your organization
