Design Thinking for Innovation

Course Overview

To many people, innovation is merely creating something new, either technologically or theoretically. But in reality, innovation is anything that changes the status quo. It is any small (or large) difference which transforms the way individuals work, live, interact, and think. In the age of a completely new technological revolution, design thinking is that innovation that makes minor changes in how people conduct themselves but shows massive results. It doesn’t involve fancy new gadgets or learning new softwares. It simply requires one to think differently, think outside the box.

In this workshop, we focus on the tools for design thinking that participants practice through a design thinking case study. Through this exercise, they would be able to execute the design thinking philosophy and tools in their own organizations.
