The Design Thinking process is a human-centered set of methods and tools which combines approaches found in design and ethnography with technology and business skills found in strategic and innovation management. We will generate a hands-on classroom experience for the participants of this PDW to expose you to the basic principles of Design Thinking and how to apply them in management education. The aim is to create an atmosphere of mutual learning and sharing in order to solve individual, corporate, or societal problems. Taking part in this PDW, the participants experience a complete Design Thinking cycle: empathy by observation, project definition, prototyping, soliciting feedback and iterating. An international faculty will guide participants through each stage of the process and provide insights on how to apply and teach Design Thinking to everyday work processes and problem solutions. Additionally, the facilitators will give different views and approaches of Design Thinking in academia, industry, and consultancy.
In order to make the Design Thinking experience as challenging and exciting as possible, we aim to have attendees from various disciplines and backgrounds. Please provide us with a short CV and one or two sentences why you would like to attend this workshop. Submit CV to katharina.hoelzle@tim.tu-berlin.de by July, 4th 2010.
Best regards
Katharina Hoelzle
