Program Overview

Design thinking is a proven and repeatable human-centered approach to new product design and development. It is considered an essential skill needed by professionals involved in product marketing and business development in the 21^st century. This level of clarity in thinking is critical since new products’ failure rate has been claimed to range from 40% to 80%. This current reality means that customers do not want close to half of the new product launches.

Design thinking allows you to use tools and principles to figure out your customers’ needs and test and validate your assumptions rigorously before spending a lot of time and money in R&D and product and business development. It combines critical and creative thinking that facilitates information and ideas to be organized, decisions to be made, improved problem situations, and knowledge. It is a mindset focused on finding solutions that are fit for customer problems and pain points.

The business model canvas, created by Alexander Osterwalder, is a great tool and methodology to help business leaders understand their business model in a simple and well-thought-out manner. Using the business model canvas will generate insights about the profile of customers and segments you serve, what value propositions are offered to them, through which channels, and how your company generate profit based on the organizations cost structure and revenue generation model.

The course will guide you through the three phases of Design Thinking: Inspire, Ideate, and Implement with theory and practical exercises. Participants will learn how to implement Design Thinking in developing new products or services to solve customer problems and build something someone wants. They will learn how to apply design thinking in the product-market fit phase in the company’s new product development processes, including customer needs analysis, quick market research, and rapid prototyping. This will then be followed by organizing insights using the business model canvas.
