What you will learn

Learning the 5 Design Thinking steps and their application in practice

Learn Design Thinking by working through YOUR OWN challenge

Learn Design Thinking in a very structured and efficient way

Description

Take part in the Design Thinking crash course [Update March 2024]. This is the English version, based on many years of participants' feedback and the experiences of our live crash courses in Berlin.

Spend around 3 hours to get your certificate*:

  • 85min core video content (theory lessons + working through an example challenge)

  • Additional 105min homework to work through your own Design Thinking Challenge (in parallel to the course) if you want to acquire the Design Thinking Certificate from Responsive Strategy.

This is a step-by-step guide of how to use the Design Thinking approach to solve your challenge in the area of product, service, business, organization or corporate strategy. You will also learn how to facilitate a Design Thinking workshop. You can work on your own challenge parallel to the course or just listen to everything and learn how Design Thinking works using our example challenge.


The Crash Course includes:

  • 1.5 hours of videos including insights into an example Design Thinking Challenge

  • Templates to use for your Design Thinking challenge at home, at work or during a workshop (with our permission for continued use)

  • A step by step "homework" for working on your own challenge (optional)

  • Quizzes to check your learning progress

  • Templates that can be downloaded as word or powerpoint - for continued use after the course

  • A pdf handout at the end of the course that summarizes your learnings and as a backup for your own workshop or project

Download the following templates with the permission to use it after the course:

  • Market / situation analysis questions

  • Interview template

  • Empathy map

  • Define template

  • Disney methods template

  • Now-wow-how matrix

  • Prototype template

  • Feedback template

*Available Certificates upon Course Completition

To showcase your newly acquired knowledge upon completing the course, you have three options:

  1. You can download the Udemy certificate of completition for free (no learning success verification).

  2. You also have the option to request a more detailed Confirmation of Participation from Responsive Strategy for a small processing fee (no learning success verification).

  3. If you require proof of achievement, you can opt in to add a 1:1 session with Julia Lettinger at the end of the course for an additional fee. Upon successful completion of the live session, we will issue you a Certificate of Achievement from Responsive Strategy as a confirmation of your learning success.


This is the Udemy course based on the teaching concept used in Design Thinking Crash Course Meetup in Berlin with already more than 1,500 members. This group was founded by Julia Lettinger in 2018 and is now the German chapter of the worldwide Design Thinking Association. The learning concept has been tried and tested many times.

The Design Thinking Crash Course is based on:

  • Many years feedback from Udemy course participants (the German version of this course is live since 2018)

  • Julia Lettinger's practical experience from numerous design thinking workshops and trainings

  • The application of design thinking in Responsive Strategy's national and international consulting projects in the field of strategy and innovation

  • Julia Lettinger's teaching experience as a lecturer of strategy methods at the Berlin School of Economics and Law

Why should you buy the course from me?

I'm Julia Lettinger, the founder of Responsive Strategy, a strategy and digital transformation consultancy in Berlin. I've been using Design Thinking for my customers for many years and I'm a big fan. That's why I've been teaching Design Thinking since 2017 through the Design Thinking & Agile Crash Courses Meetup Group I founded in Berlin, as a lecturer in Strategic Management at the HWR Berlin and on Udemy. In addition, I have been a Design Thinking Facilitator at the Silicon Valley Design Thinking Club and the LISA LEAD Startup Incubator at Stanford University since 2021, and I head the Berlin chapter of the international Design Thinking Association.

Go ahead and get the course, I look forward to welcoming you to my videos.

Best,

Julia

With the course, I was able to host workshops with my team and get their attention to the real reasons behind their day-to-day problems.

I have never used this approach and it was excellent to get the concept, steps and the real example in the course. Thank you

It is not called a crash course for nothing. No time is wasted with needless information. Unfortunately, very few practical examples were addressed. As a newcomer to this topic, I appreciated the content and the clear structure of the course. Moreover, I was immediately able to apply the methods presented to develop a suitable solution for a real challenge. It should be noted, however, that there are many free and more comprehensive courses on the internet.

This is the best 90 minutes I have invested in my learning. The concise course gives you all the strategies to get your stakeholders to open up and openly communicate. I love it and will undoubtedly take the extended course from Julia. I highly recommend this crash course if you quickly need to understand what Design Thinking is all about.

Ideal, um selbst Blaupausen für die eigenen Ideen zu entwickeln. Der Kurs ist Teil meiner selbst organisierten Fortbildung im Bereich SEO/Data Science und Online Marketing. Daher fünf Sterne.

The course is interesting. It would be much better if the examples describe in these courses were designed in English too.

Very simple and easy to understand. I like it that the speaker spoke slowly, phrase by phrase, not super fast as a native English speaker, so in between phrases and the time when she paused, I can think deeper and digest better.

I like these concepts for creating a product, for a process they don't fit so well but some of the concepts can be applied.
