Portal at Trinity - Masterclass in Design Thinking for Strategy and Change Management

Overview

Overview

Implementing effective change at an organisational level can be challenging. Ensuring such change considers, respects and engages the people it impacts is essential. Design Thinking is a process whereby managers can design user-centred solutions to organisational challenges. It involves analysis and imagination and works effectively at the individual, team, and organisational levels. It explores solutions based on the requirements of end-users, leading to innovative solutions that meet actual needs.

Many organisations struggle to embrace Design Thinking in their strategic and change management practices. Integrating Design Thinking at this operational level uncovers the human impact of organisational change, leading to shared ownership and enhanced adaptability. The result is a change management strategy that operates in tandem with the needs of the people who construct, support and implement it.

This masterclass will help you consider the power of Design Thinking when adopted at the organisational level. You will explore how this design-led innovation approach can benefit organisational strategy and change management procedures. It will help you identify the resources, support and approach needed to successfully embed Design Thinking in your work, team, and organisation.

What topics will you cover?

• Principles of Design Thinking at the organisational level;
• Using Design Thinking to overcome barriers to strategic thinking and justifiable change management;
• Techniques to drive Design Thinking at the organisational level: What's in my Design Thinking toolkit?

On completion of the Masterclass, you will be able to:

• Apply the key principles of Design Thinking holistically at the organisational level;
• Develop human-centred strategies and more sustainable change management practices;
• Reflect on how you could embed Design Thinking across your organisation.

On completion of the Masterclass a Certificate of Completion will be provided.
