Design Thinking and Creative Problem Solving Workshop

The workshop is designed to enable leaders to solve existing problems in creative ways using the Design Thinking Methodology. Conventional problem-solving tools lead to run- of-the- mill solutions, hence in a fast-changing world, the problem-solving methodology has to be different. Design Thinking, with its exploratory, open-ended approach provides the answer. This workshop will introduce the participants to this approach.
