• Implementing the five phases of Design Thinking in problem-resolution scenarios.
• Employing ideation techniques and tools to encourage creativity.
• Applying Design Thinking strategies to refine processes and improve efficiency.

This live, instructor-led training in Latvia (online or on-site) is tailored for entry-level leaders and HR professionals looking to learn and implement Design Thinking methodologies. The aim is to stimulate innovation, improve problem-solving skills, and effectively engage teams.

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

• Apply tools and methodologies to encourage innovation and boost team engagement.
• Build proficiency in empathy mapping, ideation, and prototyping for tackling complex issues.
• Leverage Design Thinking principles in leadership and HR scenarios.
• Champion a culture of innovation within tech-focused teams.

Overview:

The Design Thinking (DT) process encompasses five distinct stages: empathizing, defining the problem, ideating, prototyping, and testing.

In our increasingly complex world, many challenges require specialized approaches. Design Thinking serves as a powerful framework for navigating these complexities. By mastering design-thinking, professionals can address complex issues with greater efficacy, enhance communication and persuasion capabilities, drive better business outcomes, and elevate both organizational and individual performance.

• Understanding the DT workflow: involves gaining insights from users and the problem itself, identifying patterns, developing a model (accounting for model drift), testing the model, evaluating its effectiveness, and re-engineering as necessary.
• Examining the interconnectedness of DT, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
• Utilizing DT methods and tools: including persona development, stakeholder mapping, customer journey maps, service blueprints, and business model innovation.
• Applying DT principles: fostering a design mindset, pursuing disruptive innovation, adopting an iterative approach, employing agile estimation techniques, and enhancing skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, leadership readiness, communication, technology proficiency, forward thinking, intercultural and ethical competency, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiation, and conflict resolution.

Objectives:

• To gain a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals and nuances of DT.
• To explore key concepts, factors, theories, types, and models within DT.
• To experiment, experience, and practice DT in a hands-on setting.

Delivery:

This one-day (4-hour) training course is structured to include the following components:

• Lectures (40%): Focusing on the presentation of theories, concepts, models, and interactions.
• Group exercises (30%): Involving group dynamics, games, discussions, and mock-conflict resolution scenarios.
• Individual activities (15%): Centered on writing, designing, and peer discussion.
• Other resources (15%): Incorporating videos and reading materials.

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

This live, instructor-led training, offered online or on-site, is tailored for system administrators and infrastructure engineers looking to design, deploy, and manage private OpenStack cloud infrastructure within enterprise environments.
