How can we create new values in products and services? How can we rediscover our clients’ fundamental expectations? How can we change your approach to innovation to help you stand out from your competitors?
Design Thinking
Design Thinking is a user-centered approach that aims to ensure a better understanding of new expectations.
This approach helps to lead to more innovative solutions which break with existing offers. Since its practical application means going through all the stages of Design Thinking (Empathy/Observation – Definition – Creation – Prototyping – Test), training in use innovation is cross-cutting and illustrates the full potential of this approach.
The aim: innovating by proposing new uses which can be delivered by products and/or services.
Objectives
At the end of the training program, you will be able to use the approach and tools to:
- Observe users and imagine their needs
- Use the creative dynamic to generate new ideas
- Make rapid prototypes of new uses to consolidate the concept and integrate the user experience
- Design business models tailored to the new uses and measure value creation
Learning by doing
The school has always championed project-led teaching, the aim being to apply the knowledge transmitted to the learner and to test it in the context of a real project. This immersive approach encourages the use of methods and techniques, and develops soft skills such as empathy, creativity, team work and the Maker mentality. This pedagogical method, led by a designer, gives learners the confidence to take a different approach to the innovation process and to embrace the concept of Design Thinking.
