Key Highlights

Course was a fast track way for me to go from buzzword of Design Thinking to actually be able to apply in my day to day decision making. I am now more confident of being customer centric in my recommendations and decision making!

As an Engineering I was too quick to "solve" without realizing the "why" and "who" of the problem. This course removed my blindspots and gave me implementable tools & frameworks for innovation
