Overview:

The Design Thinking (DT) process comprises five distinct stages: empathize, define the problem, ideate, prototype, and test.

In today's increasingly complex world, we frequently encounter challenges that demand specialised approaches. Design Thinking provides the framework to navigate these complexities. By mastering design thinking, individuals can address intricate problems effectively, communicate with greater clarity, persuade more efficiently, drive improved business outcomes, and enhance both organizational and personal behaviour and performance.

• How DT functions: learn from people and the problem, identify patterns, design a model (understanding model drift), test the model, evaluate it, and re-engineer as necessary.
• The interplay between DT, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
• DT methods and tools: persona, stakeholder map, customer journey map, service blueprint, business model innovation.
• Application of DT: cultivating a design mindset, disruptive innovation, iterative approaches, agile estimation techniques, critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, leadership readiness, communication skills, technological fluency, forward-thinking, intercultural and ethical competency, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiating skills, and conflict resolution.

Objectives:

• To grasp the fundamentals and nuances of DT.
• To explore key concepts, factors, theories, types, and models within DT.
• To experiment with, experience, and practice DT.

Delivery:

Objective:

To empower Technical Analysts and Designers with the knowledge to navigate the software implementation of requirements, ensuring clear traceability between business specifications and the resulting software code.

Spanning two days, this training course supports technical analysts and designers in crafting specifications derived from business analysts' descriptions. By translating these into software component representations, the system components effectively map system requirements to software component structures.

Ultimately, these technical specifications are realised in software code and validated through component-based testing. The resulting software components exhibit high adaptability to change, as they enable separate tracing from the implementation level up through system behaviour layers. This tracing extends from user interfaces to the business object layer via application components, where actor usage choices are recorded.
