Design Thinking workshops

The half-day innovation training session on Design Thinking, which took place on either the 27th or 28th of March, was designed to equip participants with a valuable skill set for creative problem-solving. Design Thinking, a human-centered approach to innovation, offers a structured methodology to navigate from observation to idea and idea to action.

The training emphasized the development of skills necessary to address a broad spectrum of current and future challenges. Focused on human-centered approaches to innovation, particularly design thinking, the workshop aimed to instill in participants the mindset and process required for this innovative approach. Through practical exercises in small groups, attendees engaged in the application of a series of steps and tools to tackle three different challenges, fostering a hands-on understanding of how Design Thinking can be applied to promote innovation across various domains and disciplines.
