More than ever, 'Design Thinking' is the tool to get to know your customer better and start working with them! It is an iterative process of thinking, asking questions, generating ideas, designing, building prototypes, testing, learning from it and then thinking again.
From Design 'thinking' to Design 'doing'!
- Bring your own case to work on in group
- Empathize with your end user using personas and customer journeys
- Use brainstorming techniques to generate and select new ideas.
- Create concrete ideas and make them tangible in prototypes
- Learn techniques to test and validate your concept with users.
- Work with online and offline co-creation tools
Together with your colleagues, participate in a case or topic that you can bring up yourself. 1 to 2 weeks before the start of the training we will have an intake interview with you to see what interesting topics are. This topic will be approached using the Design Thinking methodology.
