Design Thinking and Lean Innovation Advanced

COURSE DURATION

2 Days

CLASS DESCRIPTION

Design Thinking and Lean Innovation are easy to understand concepts, however with the practice more questions arises. In this advanced workshop we dig deeper and learn additional tools and methods (like business ecosystem design), reflect the practical experiences and challenges of the participants and how to overcome them.

In addition to combining Design Thinking and Systems Thinking, we learn how to make a deep dive into designing a business ecosystem, creating stakeholder maps and have a look into the hybrid model (combining Design Thinking and Big Data Analytics).

The workshop will also focus in the challenge of implementing Design Thinking in your organisation.
