Design Thinking is a powerful tool for innovating and solving problems. John K. Coyle has been immersed in Design Thinking since his days at Stanford, where David Kelley (founder of IDEO and close advisor to Steve Jobs) was his academic advisor. In this course, John will start by introducing you to Design Thinking.
Knowing about Design Thinking is not enough - leaders must also create a workplace culture that nurtures and encourages innovation. This course includes:
• Design Thinking overview and explanation.
• How to create (and how not to create) a culture of innovation.
• We’ve seen the Agricultural, Industrial and Information Ages – now it is time to prepare for the new economic era – the Conceptual Age.
• Leadership skills for the Conceptual Age.
