Description
Harvard University describes Design thinking articulately - "Inventors like Thomas Edison and Steve Jobs were quintessential innovators who used a problem-solving process called “design thinking” to revolutionize entire industries and establish an enviable competitive advantage for their companies. Focused on listening, user empathy, whole-brain thinking, collaboration, and experimentation, design thinking can be applied in any field, from architecture and design to healthcare and product development to urban planning and beyond.”
Adopting Google Venture’s unique iteration of the method, this is an intensive six week program that includes the fundamentals of this approach while engaging in very participatory, immersive hands-on group work and open discussions.
