Design Thinking: Creative Problem Solving for Entrepreneurs
Design Thinking is a popular framework for using design methods to solve a wide range of business problems. It emphasizes empathy building, information visualization, and brainstorming, among other techniques to solve problems and prototype solutions within groups and organizations.
In this workshop, we’ll look at several frameworks for design thinking. We’ll learn when to apply it and when it might not work. We’ll look at the connection between fields as diverse as psychology to product development to behavioral economics.
Students will learn by doing in a series of exercises and activities meant to spark creative, problem-solving energy. Participants will work in teams and individually to solve simple familiar problems, scenarios you are given, and also real work problems that you’re dealing with in your current work.
Design thinking stresses the involvement of entire organizations; participants will gain insight on how to solve problems using design-centric techniques that are applicable regardless of the industry.
