Great ideas don’t start with technology or business goals, they start with people. Design Thinking is a creative, structured and iterative approach to problem-solving that begins by understanding human needs and leads to more thoughtful, effective solutions. It helps individuals and organisations reframe challenges, generate fresh ideas, and deliver innovations that truly matter.

This 1-hour lecture offers a clear and concise introduction to the core principles and process of Design Thinking. Participants will be introduced to the key phases: Discover, Define, Develop and Deliver.

Each phase supports an iterative and user-centric approach that has been adopted by leading organisations to drive innovation across products, services, and experiences. The session will also provide a brief overview of how Design Thinking is implemented within organisations.

Designed for both in-person and virtual participants, this session is ideal for anyone curious about using empathy and creativity to drive change. Whether you work in business, education, tech, or the public sector, you’ll come away with a clear understanding of what Design Thinking is and how it can be applied in real-world contexts.

Come curious. Leave inspired.
