About this course

The program is based on 6 key elements of Design Thinking.

6 Pillars of Design Thinking 

1. How to foster a creative climate? Creating an environment that gives your team the comfort to “grow” into a creative learning mode. 

2. How to develop a human centric approach? Encouraging empathy to recognize existing biases and cultivate a human-centered approach. 

3. How to establish a continuous iterative process? Overcoming the complexities and challenges of learning-by-doing, e.g. dealing with ambiguity and and excepting failures. 

4. How to facilitate divergent and convergent thinking? Combining and fine-tuning these two crucial mindsets, which can also be contradictory at times. 

5. How to collaborate with stakeholders? Dealing with complex innovation processes through strong and empathic leadership, with respect for different opinions and interests. 

6. How to contribute to the business model innovation? Adding value to your organization by connecting Design Thinking with its mission and strategy.
