Through the application of design-led methods, this course allows professionals and teams to resolve corporate challenges and create opportunities for success.
What you'll learn:
- Apply Design Thinking to solve organisational problems and gain a competitive advantage.
- Understand how to improve customer satisfaction and diversify your revenue streams.
- Develop techniques to plan, set up and lead a design-led project in your organisation.
