About the course
What you will learn
Spotting new opportunities through Design Thinking. It is not that every problem needs a another way of solving, it’s about how we get stuck when we know we want to change and renew.
We start unpacking the innovation process by covering when, where and why to apply Design Thinking: a framework for adding real value to your customers and developing better products, services and bottom lines.
Dive into audiences and customer journeys, map out business needs and internal or external stakeholders. Apply new ways of coming up with ideas and practices, getting yourself unstuck and free from analysis paralysis. Get into solving with creativity by testing tools for rapid prototyping. Discover how approach and methods from Design Thinking fits into your ways of working.
Leverage the power of cross-silo problem-solving, working agile, and developing incremental growth and improvement, rather than dependance on rare, serendipitous discovery. Tap into the diversity of teams by bringing blind spots to light, and maximize the upsides from multiple perspectives within your team and organization

"I found the course to be highly experiential. I enjoyed the design of the journey, which was emotional and built on deep connections. It exceeded my expectations in every way, particularly as I didn’t know much about Hyper Island prior to joining. My experience helped to ‘validate’ the course/product for me and I was positively surprised."

"Before taking the course I had been interested in the subject and studied bits and pieces here and there, so it was luxurious to be able to just enjoy the ride and suck in all the information. Most of what I learned I use at work daily. The course was an awesome experience for me."
