Design Thinking and Creativity for Business

Develop creative and design thinking skills

Design is a transformational force that helps organisations develop products, services and experiences that connect and resonate with customers.

This enables meaningful and emotional differentiation in the eyes of consumers. Not surprisingly, design has become increasingly important in business circles and organisations are increasingly trying to understand and master the competitive advantage design can offer. To help organisations address today’s business challenges in innovative ways, business leaders are seeking to develop their creative and design thinking skills.
