Human-Centred Design for Problem-Solving and Innovation - Part of Modular Certificate in Human-Centred Collaboration and Problem-Solving (DMFW1)
About This Course
With the increasingly rapid pace of change and the susceptibility of all industries to disruption, honing the ability to think creatively and being adaptable to disruptive innovation are critical for an organization’s survival. Human-Centred Design offers a user-centric and innovative approach to problem-solving. This can in turn lead to the generation of effective and efficient solutions which challenge current assumptions or ways of working and lead to better outcomes for businesses and organisations.Using the Human-Centred Design framework, learners will be introduced to concepts such as empathy, opportunity spotting, ideation, prototyping and testing. This will be achieved through a practical approach featuring engaging out-of-classroom activities and a hands-on, “learning by doing” delivery format. In addition, learners will acquire the skills to convincingly pitch their ideas and generate solutions to influence their stakeholders
