Overview: There are Five stages in the Design Thinking (DT) process (empathize, define the problem, ideate, prototype, test). In an increasingly complex world, we deal with problems that may need special approaches. Design Thinking helps deal with complex problems. Mastering design-thinking helps to deal with complex problems effectively, communicate better, persuade efficiently, improve business results and enhances organizational and personal behavior and performance.

• How DT works: learn from people and problem, find patterns, design model (model drift), test the model, evaluate the model and re-engineer. 
• Relationship between DT, innovation and entrepreneurship. 
• DT methods and tools: persona, stakeholder map, customer journey map, service blueprint, business model innovation. 
• Application of DT: design mindset, disruptive innovation, iterative approach, agile estimation technique, critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, leadership readiness, communication skills, technology savvy, forward thinking, intercultural and ethical competency, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiating skills, conflict resolution.
