Course Description

The Design Thinking Professional Education Program is a unique (2-day course) opportunity to inspire your best managers and executives to adopt new mindsets and practices that lead to better teamwork, a more creative, inclusive culture, market growth and discovering new opportunities in your business. We will focus on and showcase the lateral; creative thinking approaches commonly known to designers and integrate it with a strong foundation in design research and ethnography in innovation and entrepreneurial activity. 

The delivery style of our workshops is experiential in nature, much like a creative studio, and iterative in approach. This “learn by doing” attitude, indicative of design thinking pedagogy, further distinguishes our training from more traditional, business management offerings.
