Design thinking for entrepreneurs & startups (part 1)
An intro to the first two steps of the 'design thinking' process: developing empathy & framing the problem/opportunity.
Description
This course will introduce you to the
basic
concepts and tools behind design thinking and takes you through the first
two steps
in the design process. These steps are fundamental to reducing the risk involved in your new venture.
I have broken down the basic concepts of design into
small and fun videos
that will lead you through the different steps of your design process.
Based on recent reviews please notice: this is a short course (34 min) and
doesn't pretend to be a complete guide to design thinking!
It aims instead to inspire you to become an explorer, to overcome the fear of jumping into the unknown, and finally to start that project that scares you - but that matters.
This course is for those who believe that entrepreneurship is a 'human trait of love' and a vehicle to build a better world (for many).
My hope is that this course and those yet to come will inspire you to discover the changemaker within you and provide you with the tools needed to make change happen.
I hope you'll give it a go.
Stay tuned.
