66 Design Thinking courses

This program provides an overview of Design Thinking, Lean Startup and Agile methods and illustrates how each should be applied and integrated into the journey of an idea all the way to business value realization. Developing an innovative idea into a stage of business value realization is a long and tedious journey; it involves different types of thinking and working at different stages of the life of the idea. Broadly speaking, this journey can be classified into 3 stages: deep understanding of user needs and innovating solutions; experimenting with a solution concept through prototyping and validating; and implementing the solution prototype into a commercial solution. Design Thinking, Lean Startup and Agile methods fit perfectly into these 3 stages. This program provides an overview of each of these methods and illustrates how each should be applied and integrated into the journey of an idea all the way to business value realization.

Design Thinking in Today's Organization Design Thinking is a great way for organizations to equip their project teams to better manage ambiguity in innovative environments, navigate complex problems, experiment rapidly, communicate more effectively, and increase the ability to respond to ever changing customer requirements. Additionally they will talk about how Design Thinking in action with the exclusive PMI Global Executive Council will engage the next generation of project leaders, known as "Global Executive Council NextPerts" and their development of a Benefits Thinking Movement. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.

Design Thinking for a Circular Economy Design Thinking for a Circular Economy The most critical and complex problem of our age is how to create a robust economy that is sustainable for all future generations. Design Thinking is a revolutionary and practical methodology, with principles and processes that help people approach complex problems and create collaborative, innovative, and human-centered solutions for Sustainability. The Circular Economy utilizes restorative and regenerative methodologies like 'cradle to cradle' and 'biomimicry' to reshape how we do business, while fostering robust equitable economies. In this dynamic presentation, we will explore how the Circular Economy depends on Design Thinking in order to re-think and re-make our systems and products with an understanding of our Value chains as Material flows. When we create an economy that is just for all, and that fits into our ecological system as opposed to ecology bending to our economy, then we can produce a future that is Sustainable for all. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity.

Design Sinking: How to Fail at Design Thinking - and How to Do It Better Design Thinking is ubiquitous these days. From developing new payment processes for car parks to optimizing the patient experience in public hospitals, from designing blockchain scenarios for savings banks to improving the employee experience at tech start-ups, from building intrapreneurial ventures for mobility providers to designing business models for aircraft parts logistics, from large-scale digital transformation campaigns on enterprise level to designing whole strategies of start-ups, SMEs and major corporations alike... Looking back to the last years as an innovation consultant and facilitator, the list could go on and on. Browsing all those cases one might easily get the impression that Design Thinking is some kind of 'magic wand' to just do it all - better, faster, cheaper and of course instantly ready for implementation, with a 100% guaranteed success rate. Germans would call it a 'Eierlegende Wollmilchsau' (engl. fig. 'egg laying wool-milk-pig'). Of course, it is not. Nevertheless, it has undoubtedly proven to be a highly important tool to master the transformations we're facing on so many levels.
