Design thinking training

Design Thinking is in its essence the process of applying user centricity, rapid innovation and testing to business strategy and product innovation. While the name has turned into a major buzzword and trend over the last years, the impact of the process especially in the fuzzy front end of innovation processes has shown to be remarkable.
