Design Thinking Programme

Schools School of Management Design Thinking Programme

Programme Overview

The Design Thinking Programme is a hands-on, two-day course that introduces participants to the fundamentals of design thinking—a creative, human-centred problem-solving approach. This non-linear, iterative process encourages innovation by helping participants deeply understand user needs, challenge assumptions, redefine problems, and develop and test practical solutions.   

Through interactive exercises and real-world examples, participants will explore each stage of the design thinking cycle and learn how to apply it in their roles, teams, or organisations.
