Whatever your level of design interest or expertise, this short course at the world's leading university for art and design will equip you with a robust design thinking model to apply in your own working life.
Design Thinking and Innovation in Practice is led by Clara Gaggero Westaway and Adrian Westaway – renowned inventors, educators and co-founders of innovation and design studio Special Projects. Blending rigorous research with a playful, optimistic approach, they bring delight and a profoundly human quality to a wide range of complex challenges.
Over two days, you will learn theoretical principles and practical building blocks for design thinking, strategies for improving decision-making by reframing innovation challenges, ways to co-create effectively with others, how to drive innovation within a team and global best practices in how other organisations have used design thinking.
The Royal College of Art views Design Thinking as a form of human-centred innovation. By reframing challenges from the user's perspective, we incorporate empathy and real-world engagement with people's lived experience.
Design Thinking is a means of resolving the contradictions between the real world, with its barriers and constraints, and the abstract world of imagination and creative ideas. This design thinking executive course provides the tools and frameworks to bridge this divide.
