- There are no prerequisites for this course.
It doesn't matter whether you come from an IT, design,
or business background.
It would help however, if you're aware
of the general concepts around lean, and agile.
And are somewhat familiar
with the development processes used in your organization.
This course covers the business justification
and strategic considerations
for using design thinking techniques.
It's about getting the buy-in to do design thinking
in your organization.
Then how to go about making it happen properly.
We'll talk about the time and cost benefits
of using design thinking.
And look into how to get stakeholder buy-in.
How to get highly technically focused individuals
to empathize with user needs.
And how to encourage creativity
from the various people in your organization.
This course doesn't go into the real detail about each
of the techniques used in a design thinking process.
If that's your focus you should also watch my course
on applying design thinking.
You can still get benefit
from watching this course first though.
The two go hand in hand, covering the philosophy
and implementation of design thinking.
