This instructor-led, live training in New Zealand (online or on-site) is designed for emerging leaders and HR professionals who wish to learn and apply Design Thinking methodologies to foster innovation, enhance problem-solving capabilities, and engage teams effectively.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Gain access to tools and methodologies that foster innovation and team engagement.
• Develop skills in empathy mapping, ideation, and prototyping to tackle complex challenges.
• Apply Design Thinking principles to leadership and HR scenarios.
• Cultivate a culture of innovation within technology teams.

Overview:

The Design Thinking (DT) process comprises five distinct stages: empathise, define the problem, ideate, prototype, and test.

In an increasingly complex world, we encounter challenges that often require specialised approaches. Design Thinking provides the framework to tackle these complex issues effectively. Mastering design thinking enables individuals to manage complex problems efficiently, communicate more clearly, persuade with greater impact, improve business outcomes, and enhance both organisational and personal behaviour and performance.

• How DT works: learn from people and problem, find patterns, design model (model drift), test the model, evaluate the model and re-engineer.
• Relationship between DT, innovation and entrepreneurship.
• DT methods and tools: persona, stakeholder map, customer journey map, service blueprint, business model innovation.
• Application of DT: design mindset, disruptive innovation, iterative approach, agile estimation technique, critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, leadership readiness, communication skills, technology savvy, forward thinking, intercultural and ethical competency, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiating skills, conflict resolution.

Objectives:

• To understand the fundamentals and nuances of DT
• To explore key concepts, factors, theories, types, and models in DT
• To experiment, experience and practice DT

Delivery:

This is a 1 day (4 hours) training course and consists of:

• lectures (40% - presentation of theories, concepts, models, and interactions),
• group exercises (30% - group dynamics, games, group discussion, and mock-conflict resolution exercises),
• individual activities (15% - writing, designing and peer discussion)
• and others (15% - videos, reading).

Note: due to the nature of this course there is a minimum group size of 3
