In this instructor-led, live workshop training in Sofia (online or onsite), participants will learn how to apply the five stages of Design Thinking to better understand the problems experienced by end-users of a product or service, then develop the best approach for resolving them.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Use creative strategies to match customers' needs with technologically feasible solutions.
• Formulate a strategy to increase customer value and enhance product and service offerings.

Overview:

The Design Thinking (DT) methodology comprises five distinct stages: empathize, define the problem, ideate, prototype, and test.

In today's increasingly complex landscape, we frequently encounter challenges that demand specialized strategies. Design Thinking provides the framework to navigate these complexities. By mastering design thinking, you can address intricate issues more effectively, enhance communication, persuade with greater efficiency, drive better business outcomes, and improve both organizational dynamics and individual performance.

• Understanding DT Mechanics: Learn from stakeholders and problems, identify patterns, develop a design model (monitoring model drift), test the model, evaluate results, and re-engineer as necessary.
• The Interplay of DT, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship.
• DT Methodologies and Tools: Persona development, stakeholder mapping, customer journey mapping, service blueprints, and business model innovation.
• Practical Application of DT: Cultivating a design mindset, fostering disruptive innovation, utilizing an iterative approach, applying agile estimation techniques, sharpening critical thinking and problem-solving skills, enhancing teamwork and leadership readiness, improving communication, leveraging technology, practicing forward thinking, demonstrating intercultural and ethical competency, boosting emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiation skills, and conflict resolution abilities.

Objectives:

• To grasp the fundamental principles and subtleties of DT.
• To explore core concepts, influencing factors, theories, types, and models within DT.
• To experiment with, experience, and practice DT methodologies.

Delivery Format:

This intensive one-day training (4 hours) includes:

• Lectures (40% - delivery of theories, concepts, models, and interactive discussions),

• Individual activities (15% - writing, design tasks, and peer feedback),
• Other resources (15% - videos, readings).

Note: Due to the interactive nature of this course, a minimum group size of 3 participants is required.
