• Apply Design Thinking principles to leadership and HR scenarios.
• Promote a culture of innovation within tech teams.

Overview:

The Design Thinking (DT) framework is composed of five distinct stages: empathizing, defining the problem, ideating, prototyping, and testing.

In our increasingly complex world, we frequently encounter challenges that require specialized approaches. Design Thinking provides a robust method for tackling these complex issues. By mastering design thinking, individuals can address complex problems more effectively, communicate with greater clarity, persuade more efficiently, improve business outcomes, and enhance both organizational and personal performance and behavior.

• Understanding DT: Learning from people and problems, identifying patterns, designing a model (including model drift), testing the model, evaluating it, and re-engineering as needed.
• Exploring the relationship between Design Thinking, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
• Key DT methods and tools: including personas, stakeholder maps, customer journey maps, service blueprints, and business model innovation.
• Practical applications of DT: cultivating a design mindset, fostering disruptive innovation, adopting an iterative approach, utilizing agile estimation techniques, enhancing critical thinking and problem-solving skills, improving teamwork and leadership readiness, strengthening communication and technological proficiency, encouraging forward-thinking and intercultural/ethical competence, developing emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiation skills, and conflict resolution abilities.

Objectives:

• To gain a solid understanding of the fundamentals and nuances of Design Thinking.
• To explore key concepts, factors, theories, types, and models within DT.
• To experiment with, experience, and practice Design Thinking firsthand.

Delivery Method:

This is a one-day (4-hour) training course structured as follows:

• Lectures (40% - covering the presentation of theories, concepts, models, and interactive discussions),
• Group exercises (30% - focusing on group dynamics, games, group discussions, and mock conflict resolution),
• Individual activities (15% - involving writing, designing, and peer discussions)
• Additional materials (15% - including videos and reading assignments).

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

Design Thinking is a globally recognized methodology for creating innovative services, processes, and products.

The human being is at the core of Design Thinking. The essence of the method lies in properly defining the problem and focusing on the real needs of the end user. Awareness of this crucial distinction reduces the risk of failure.

The main goal of the training is to understand the practical dimension of the method in daily work.

This instructor-led, live training (available online or onsite) is designed for system administrators and infrastructure engineers aiming to design, deploy, and manage private OpenStack cloud infrastructure for enterprise environments.

By the end of this training, participants will understand OpenStack architecture, deploy private cloud infrastructure, manage compute and storage resources, implement security with Keystone, and apply enterprise best practices.
