How is the course different?
Practical and hands-on with a focus on learning-by-doing, using several different practice exercises that
combine individual work with small group collaboration.
Taught by experienced practitioners (not professional facilitators who teach the material but have never practiced it themselves) working in product, service and experience design.
Flexible framework and methods relevant to different industries and design challenges, including digital products, physical products, services, processes and policies, and applicable across the entire product/service development
lifestyle (front end and back end).
2 Day Ambassador Training provides a solid foundation with over 15 methods.
The Design Academy, Intersection's educational and research collaboratory, hosts hands-on, interactive workshops to introduce a framework for practicing the discipline of Human Centered Design Thinking.
As design practitioners, we teach what we practice - Human-Centered Design Thinking (HCDT). HCDT is more than a trend as corporations, government agencies and nonprofits adopt its' practices as they see the benefits:
• Mitigates risk
• Creates differentiation
• Improves innovation outcomes
• Solves business challenges
• Shortens the adoption curve
• Increases brand value
This one-day workshop introduces participants to the discipline of Human-Centred Design / Design Thinking.
Led by practicing industry professionals, participants identify a challenge topic, ideate solutions, develop a prototype and user-test a final design. This is a fun, interactive way to expose any individual or organization to creative-problem-solving techniques.
