Description

Design Thinking is a people-centric, collaborative, optimistic, and experimental way of working to drive innovation. The course focuses on a form of design thinking, called the DUCTRI process, as a pragmatic approach to nurture deep curiosity about business/organisational/societal issues, unleash creativity, and ensure clarity when it comes to implementing innovative solutions or solving problems. The course introduces new tools and techniques and demonstrates how to apply them to practical situations. The course will help students to collaborate in more creative ways and aims to equip students with critical thinking, teamwork, problem-solving, and communication to be competitive in a dynamic global marketplace.
