Brief Introduction

This course offers you a real-world introduction to the topic of Business Design Thinking

Description

Business Design Thinking is a relatively new discipline and lives at the intersection of business and design. It has naturally emerged as design methodologies have become more business-facing with a growing demand to be more "customer-centric”. This demand is going beyond products and services and into the very DNA of our culture. The pace of change in the world means there is growing pressure on organizations to keep up, compete and remain relevant to rapidly shifting customers. Easier said than done. Business Design Thinking plays its part in helping to solve that problem. Typical design principles, as practiced by design agencies, allows you to focus on the desirability of customers. Business modeling and Strategy Design allows you to focus on the feasibility of a business as well as its financial viability. Start-up entrepreneurs around the world are educated from almost every angle about the importance of being customer-centric yet they continue to fail at an alarming rate. Corporate Innovation Teams suffer the same challenge.
