This interactive workshop will take place at NovaUCD on 23 July, 7:45 am to 9 am and will be delivered by Rohan Perera and Raomal Perera, LeanDisruptor.com.
Design thinking can transform the way your start-up develops products, services, processes and strategy. Applying design thinking methodologies can help your company overcome key business challenges in today’s fast-paced technology and data driven environment.
During this workshop attendees will learn valuable design methodologies and strategies that will transform your approach to problem solving and innovation.
Design thinking can be used as an innovative approach:
- to create customer-centric products and services;
- for problem solving and management strategy;
- to anticipate and respond to new trends and technologies;
- to develop systemised solutions.
