Design Thinking
People-centred problem solving
In this stream you will learn how to apply Design Thinking to complex problems—whether in social, organizational, business, government or even personal contexts. Design Thinking is a human-centred approach that emphasizes teamwork and co-creation. You will gain an understanding of key principles and practice tools such as stakeholder mapping, context mapping, personas, journey mapping, scenario mapping, and prototyping.
Our approach will be learning-by-doing. Using the real-life challenges associated with an aging population, you will apply your new learning and creativity and see surprising outcomes. You’ll emerge energized with new skills and an appetite for collaborative, human-centred problem solving.
