Course Overview
Many business and non-business organizations are starting to adopt design thinking as a practice and as a strategy to develop solutions for their problems. Business schools and other institutions have also made design thinking a part of their curriculum. To learn more about design thinking, take the Hong Kong Polytechnic University’s Design Thinking: Theories and Applications online course.
The Design Thinking: Theories and Applications program demystifies design thinking, and breaks it down into its five stages: Empathise, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test. It will help you develop a holistic, human-centric, and non-linear approach. It defines design thinking not as a problem-solving process, but more as the behavior or the attitude when dealing with a complex problem.
The Design Thinking: Theories and Applications training will help you develop the personal traits that all design thinkers must possess: human-centeredness, a creative and flexible thinking style, high self-efficacy, and being comfortable with intuitive and subjective judgment. Not only will you be able to solve problems, but you will also be able to find opportunities. The introductory course in design is self-paced.
