Description

Summary 

Design Thinking is a method of meeting people’s needs and desires in a technologically feasible and strategically viable way and applies to a wide range of human-centered processes and services. It can be used in combination with Agile Project Management and Program Management to deliver the products, ideas and services that will create value for the individual.

The design thinking process has been applied to developing new products and services, and to a whole range of problems, from creating innovative business models for selling solar panels in Africa to restructuring HR services at Coca-Cola Company.

In this interactive presentation, Renatus Hoogenraad will explain the Design Thinking process in simple terms accessible for non-experts in the field. You will learn about the phases and tools of Design Thinking and find out how these may be used to find the right product, service or idea to be delivered.
