„Design Thinking “

… Product development – innovative and people-oriented.

To think like a designer – develop beautiful and functional things, that delight customers – who never thought about that? Unfortunately, exceedingly few people are in the lucky position to be creative in their work environment. There are too many rules, too few freedom and daily routine, which prevent innovative thinking and new ideas. But now we have the answer for this problem, directly from the Silicon Valley: Design Thinking – the ideal method.

What you can expect of the “Design Thinking” module

You learn, how to invent new ideas and convert them in feasible products, with the help of a permanent dialogue with users and customers. You will pass an entire creative process in a goal-oriented way. This open process will delight you. You will see how valuable it is to work with many different colleagues to develop the best possible solutions. You successfully combine design thinking methods with agile techniques and recognise the advantages of both approaches. You are an artist, a value creator and customer understanding person, all in one. You learn to create a free space in your own environment where you can find the best solutions.
