Design Thinking Programme

Design Thinking Programme

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. 

PROGRAMME BENEFITS

Learn the five key phases—Empathise, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test—and how they apply to solving complex challenges.

Develop innovative thinking by exploring new perspectives and user-driven solutions.

Apply design thinking through practical group activities, simulations, and guided workshops.

Strengthen team communication and cooperation through a structured, user-focused approach.

WHO IS THE PROGRAMME FOR?

This programme is targeted to beginners, new joiners, and junior employees who have limited experience in creative problem-solving or innovation frameworks. It’s designed for individuals eager to build foundational skills in design thinking to support their contributions to team projects, process improvements, and user-focused solutions within any industry or function.
