Design Thinking - The Key to Competitive Advantage
AIM WA Professional Development Sundowner
Increasingly complex times make innovation and collaboration vital to all types of business. Both of these principles are essential components of Design Thinking. ‘Design Thinking’ is a set of protocols for effective problem solving, discovery and opportunity. A human-centered approach to innovation, it draws from the designer’s toolkit to integrate the needs of people, the possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success.
Dee Roche is a high energy ‘Design Thinker’, trained in methods developed by IDEO ExperiencePoint, a collaborative training partnership.
During this presentation, Dee will:
- discuss the process of Design Thinking and its importance
- demonstrate how the Design Thinking approach creates and accelerates better solutions to the complex challenges facing business and society
- share a range of human-centered creative design tools to deliver new breakthrough ideas
- show you how to assume a ‘Beginners Mindset’ - imagining the ability to turn abstract ideas into practical applications for maximal business growth
- teach you to learn how to incorporate Design Thinking into your business processes to select and execute winning innovations.
