About this course
You may be coming to this course for the first time or because we've updated it to include how remote and hybrid teams use design thinking to innovate and collaborate, and how AI can become an effective part of that team. If you're new to this course, this course will introduce you to ways of taking action on the most pressing challenges you seek to solve with others at work, in your community, and beyond. If you've taken this course before, now is a good time to dive into these new ideas, new examples, and to take a refresher on the core concepts. This course draws from work with MIT entrepreneurs, with Frog, a global design and strategy firm, and clients across industries whose challenges range from launching new-to-the-world experiences to rethinking existing businesses to empowering communities. We address these challenges from a core mindset around problem-solving, often called design thinking, which businesses around the world are recognizing as particularly good at opening new markets and creating competitive advantage. In this course, you will learn strategies for bringing this powerful form of ideation and problem-solving into your organization or team. This course will define design thinking and the mindset behind it, and it will cover the leadership strategies to build that mindset, plus specific tools like journey mapping, concepting, and prototyping, which you can apply every day to make this a sustainable success. We will also share an approach to integrating AI capabilities into your team, and how to effectively work with remote and hybrid teams. There are no prerequisites other than a willingness to experiment with trying out new ways of work. Let's do it!
