Learn the human-centric process of Design Thinking and acquire tools for all its phases.The main characteristic of Design Thinking as an approach to innovation is its deep understanding of the stakeholders. It focuses on research of the customer, citizen or user and her context, needs, goals, and aspirations. Design Thinking means early prototyping and iterative testing of potential solutions by employing a practical methodology and process.

Design Thinking can be employed in developing products, services, processes, business models, and strategies.
