Design Thinking (PowerPoint PPTX)

Design Thinking is a process for creative problem solving. It allows everyone to use creative tools to address a vast range of challenges. The process is action-oriented, embraces simple mindset shifts and tackles problems from a new direction.

Some of the world's leading brands, such as Apple, Nike, Starbucks and GE, have rapidly adopted the design thinking approach. What's more, design thinking is being taught at leading universities around the world, including Stanford, Harvard and MIT.

Based on the world-renowned Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (Stanford University) model, Design Thinking encourages organizations to focus on the people they are creating for, which leads to better products, services, and internal processes. The framework is fully compatible with Lean and Six Sigma approaches.

This comprehensive presentation is tailored specifically for Design Thinking facilitators, trainers and consultants who are preparing for delivery in a classroom or workshop environment. The included wallet design exercise could be replaced with your own design challenge. Additionally, the introductory module can be used as a stand-alone awareness briefing material for a general audience.

You will get to train your target audiences how to solve problems creatively by building empathy, generating ideas, prototyping and testing new concepts before final implementation.
