Join the "DESIGN THINKING TOOL BOX". This course is ideal for you if you already have some basic knowledge of Design Thinking and would like to deepen, supplement or refresh your methodical knowledge.

If you are completely new to the topic, I recommend that you first do my "DESIGN THINKING CRASH COURSE" (also on Udemy) and then this advanced course

Spend around 4.5 hours to get your certificate*:

• 3.5 hrs of video content to watch

• approx. 55 min to complete the course assignments

• approx. 5 min to complete the final test (quiz to test your knowledge)

  
  

What can you do after the course?

Solving challenges with Design Thinking, leading Design Thinking processes and facilitating Design Thinking workshops. After this course you will be well versed in design thinking processes. You can apply design thinking to challenges and also teach others. You are able to put together the appropriate methods for a design thinking process.

What are you getting?

You will receive complete step-by-step instructions on how to use Design Thinking to solve challenges in the areas of product, service, business, organizational and corporate strategy in a creative and agile way. You will get a variety of tried-and-tested methods and templates with which you can carry out a design thinking process independently and facilitate design thinking workshops. As with the Design Thinking crash course (also on Udemy), you can again work on your challenge in parallel (an option, not a must). The main focus of this course is to expand your methodological skills.

The course includes:

• 3.5 hrs of video content with a focus on design thinking methods

• A downloadable course handout (pdf)

• 50+ relevant methods in the context of design thinking

• 25+ downloadable and reusable design thinking templates (pdf and ppt) - for working on a challenge at home, in your company or in a workshop - as a workbook and for use in workshops (I give you my permission for further use)
