Our Design Thinking training courses are much more than just imparting knowledge of the method and tools. In our training courses, you actively build up your own wealth of experience in innovative approaches. You will broaden your perspective and experience different approaches to creativity and communication for successful collaboration.
We attach great importance to heterogeneous team compositions, as this also plays a decisive role in the application of Design Thinking. In this context, you will not only learn to put yourself in the shoes of your team members, but also see different perspectives as the most valuable source of innovation.
Another important aspect of our learning philosophy is to 'explore learning'. We encourage you to follow your intrinsic curiosity, rethink concepts, turn them on their head, be creative and try things out iteratively. Application-oriented learning is central to us as part of the research campus. You will learn to 'solve' problems quickly and not get bogged down in discussion and planning. Whether you are faced with an everyday question, a challenge from our research campus or your company, you will experience how design thinking leads you to creative solutions.
We also focus on the 'transfer of learning'. You will not only gain new perspectives, but also support in transferring these to your own projects and putting them into practice.
