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:

This is a one-day (4-hour) training course comprising:

• Lectures (40% - presentation of theories, concepts, models, and interactions),

The RISC-V ecosystem has evolved from a niche open-source instruction set architecture (ISA) into a mainstream architectural choice with substantial market momentum spanning edge computing, IoT, automotive sectors, AI acceleration, and server-class processors. Industry analyses highlight a significant talent gap: there are fewer than 5,000 RISC-V chip designers globally, compared to an estimated 15,000+ open positions within the semiconductor industry. Current hiring trends indicate that employers are prioritising candidates who possess proficiency in RISC-V architecture alongside skills in SoC design, RTL verification (UVM/SystemVerilog), AI accelerator development, Rust systems programming, confidential computing, and open-source toolchain expertise. The most rapidly growing competency areas include automotive-grade RISC-V (ISO 26262 compliance), server-class processors featuring AIA interrupt controllers and multi-core coherence, and edge AI inference NPUs. Companies such as SiFive, Qualcomm, and Western Digital have accelerated their RISC-V development efforts, intensifying the demand for engineers capable of bridging architecture specification, silicon implementation, firmware, and software stack development within a single skill set.
