Our course for professionals, Design Thinking In Practice, is an immersive, deep-dive introduction to design thinking where you will learn how to co-create solutions for complex, real-world problems using design thinking methodologies.

No two businesses or organisations are the same – the same can be said about employees, work policies, real-word challenges, and business hours. That’s why we work with you to develop a customised design thinking programme. Every aspect of the course, everything from duration to the content covered, is customisable to suit the needs of a specific business and organisations.

Introduction to Design Thinking is a programme specifically designed to provide UCT staff members with the opportunity to enhance their critical thinking capabilities whilst working in diverse, multidisciplinary teams on real world problems. The programme simultaneously aims to build confidence in dealing with uncertainty and ambiguity as well as a human-centered approach to problem solving.

This is a fast, fun, and concise introduction to Design Thinking. A team of experienced Design Thinkers will coach you through the design thinking process over a 2 hour period. Design Thinking Dash is a once-off teaser experience that will give you a practical understanding of how design thinking can be implemented.
