In increasingly complex times, innovation and collaboration skills are becoming vital to all types of businesses; and both principles are essential in Design Thinking.
Design thinking brings together what is desirable from a human-centred point of view with what is technologically feasible and economically viable within any organisation or sector. It is a contemporary and innovative approach to devising strategy and managing change.
Using current Harvard case studies, the masterclass invites participants to explore their own organisational challenges focusing on their “Burning Platforms” and accelerate innovation to cultivate effective solutions.
The presenters on this course are the first in Western Australia who have been trained in the prestigious “ExperienceInnovation” and IDEO methods of Design Thinking.
The masterclass is designed for those in senior leadership roles within public and private sector organisations who are involved in the development of policy and strategy. It will promote design thinking as an approach for leaders to become more agile and adaptive to deal with increasing uncertainty, complexity and change.
