In this course, you’ll dig into the strategy and principles of design thinking. Finish feeling ready to solve any problem back at the office.

Design thinking practitioners will lead participants through segments of the program to put theory into action. Leave with actionable skills you can apply immediately. This course applies to our Certificates in Strategy and Innovation and qualifies as an elective for Leadership and Excellence in Business Certificates.
