What is design thinking?

Design thinking is a mindset that focuses on people and their needs, making the situation tangible and an iterative approach.

What will you learn?

• How important it is to enter the context of the user in order to build empathy
• How explorative thinking promotes revolutionary ideas
• What it means to learn needs-orientated, quickly and iteratively
