In this instructor-led, live workshop training in Australia (online or onsite), participants will learn how to apply the five stages of Design Thinking to gain a deeper understanding of the problems faced by end-users of a product or service, and subsequently develop the most effective strategies for resolving them.

By the conclusion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Utilise creative strategies to align customer needs with technologically feasible solutions.
• Formulate strategies to increase customer value and enhance product and service offerings.

This instructor-led, live training in Australia (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level to intermediate-level professionals who wish to understand and apply Design Thinking methodologies to drive innovation and improve business solutions.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the core principles of Design Thinking and its role in innovation.
• Apply the five phases of Design Thinking to problem-solving.

This instructor-led, live training in Australia (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level leaders and HR professionals who wish to learn and apply Design Thinking methodologies to foster innovation, enhance problem-solving capabilities, and engage teams effectively.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Equip participants with tools and methodologies to foster innovation and team engagement.
• Develop skills in empathy mapping, ideation, and prototyping for solving complex challenges.
• Apply Design Thinking principles to leadership and HR scenarios.
• Promote a culture of innovation within tech teams.

Overview:

The Design Thinking (DT) process comprises five distinct stages: empathise, define the problem, ideate, prototype, and test.

In an increasingly complex world, we encounter problems that often demand specialised approaches. Design Thinking provides the framework to navigate these complexities effectively. Mastering design thinking enables you to tackle complex challenges proficiently, communicate more clearly, persuade with greater efficiency, improve business outcomes, and enhance both organisational and personal behaviour and performance.

• How DT functions: learn from people and the problem, identify patterns, design a model (understanding model drift), test the model, evaluate it, and re-engineer as necessary.
• The relationship between DT, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
• DT methods and tools: persona development, stakeholder mapping, customer journey mapping, service blueprints, and business model innovation.
• Application of DT: cultivating a design mindset, disruptive innovation, iterative approaches, agile estimation techniques, critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, leadership readiness, communication skills, technological savviness, forward-thinking, intercultural and ethical competency, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiation skills, and conflict resolution.

Objectives:

• To grasp the fundamentals and nuances of DT.
• To explore key concepts, factors, theories, types, and models within DT.
• To experiment with, experience, and practice DT.

Delivery:

This is a 1-day (4 hours) training course comprising:

• lectures (40% - presentation of theories, concepts, models, and interactions),
• group exercises (30% - group dynamics, games, group discussions, and mock conflict resolution exercises),
• individual activities (15% - writing, designing, and peer discussion)
• and other elements (15% - videos, reading).

Note: due to the nature of this course there is a minimum group size of 3
