Innovations arise at the intersection of technological feasibility, economic viability and human desirability. While science and practice often focus on technical solvability, this workshop places the needs of the users in the center- the guiding principle of design thinking.

Design Thinking is a systematic approach to complex problems that takes the human perspective as the starting point for developing innovative products and services. Multidisciplinary teams iteratively go through a work process consisting of six different phases: Understand, observe, point of view, ideate, prototype, and test.

In this workshop, we enable you to apply Design Thinking concepts to your idea or daily work. After the workshop is completed, you understand the core principles and main values of the Design Thinking approach and the six phases of the Design Thinking process. You will be able to apply suitable methods within the Design Thinking process, such as creative techniques.
