HOW IT WORKS

In two days, we take mid- to upper-level managers from understanding design thinking as a concept to applying it to break down, rethink, and solve complex problems. Design Thinking practitioners will lead participants through segments of the program to put theory into action. Join us and experience what design thinking can do and how it can transform your business. Leave with actionable skills you can apply immediately. This course applies to the C-Suite Certificate with concentrations in Strategy, Change Management or Business Analytics and qualifies as an elective for the C-Suite, Leadership, and Advanced Certificates.
