"The main tenet of design thinking is empathy for the people you’re trying to design for. Leadership is exactly the same thing – building empathy for the people that you’re entrusted to help." – David Kelley, Founder of IDEO Design thinking is not a buzzword or a fad, but a necessity, a need of the hour. With so many products and services appearing and disappearing in a fast world, the only tenet that stands the test of time is the underlying human need.
Humans are back in the centre of the universe, our product/service universe. This is why design thinking is referred to as human centred design. This course will be an introduction to employees and managers in a company an experience of an empathy led approach to creativity in the context of an organization. The facilitator will use live projects to demonstrate and apply the method.
This course is divided into 4 modules - Empathize, Analyze, Solve and Test. We start with the humans in Empathize and analyze their situation. Once we know what is that will make their life better, we solve them using our creativity and test our assumptions about the humans we started out with.

Corporate denizens are well versed with problem solving in most contexts in their business. In about 80% of the cases, there is no need for a method, but when confronted with a tough nut to crack, the same employees have very limited experience with following a process to solve the problems. Most of these "tough nuts" are related to a user or a customer who usually doesn't express what their problems are. Design thinking is a process which can help get into the mind of the user, unearth latent needs, solve problems and test solution ideas iteratively.
A participant must hold an under graduate degree (10+2+3/4) from a recognized university in any discipline. Participant appearing for final year examinations can also apply.
