Description

Join the "DESIGN THINKING TOOL BOX". This course is ideal for you if you already have some basic knowledge of Design Thinking and would like to deepen, supplement or refresh your methodical knowledge.

If you are completely new to the topic, I recommend that you first do my "DESIGN THINKING CRASH COURSE" (also on Udemy) and then this advanced course


Spend around 4.5 hours to get your certificate*:

  • 3.5 hrs of video content to watch

  • approx. 55 min to complete the course assignments

  • approx. 5 min to complete the final test (quiz to test your knowledge)


What can you do after the course?

Solving challenges with Design Thinking, leading Design Thinking processes and facilitating Design Thinking workshops. After this course you will be well versed in design thinking processes. You can apply design thinking to challenges and also teach others. You are able to put together the appropriate methods for a design thinking process.


What are you getting?

You will receive complete step-by-step instructions on how to use Design Thinking to solve challenges in the areas of product, service, business, organizational and corporate strategy in a creative and agile way. You will get a variety of tried-and-tested methods and templates with which you can carry out a design thinking process independently and facilitate design thinking workshops. As with the Design Thinking crash course (also on Udemy), you can again work on your challenge in parallel (an option, not a must). The main focus of this course is to expand your methodological skills.


The course includes:

  • 3.5 hrs of video content with a focus on design thinking methods

  • A downloadable course handout (pdf)

  • 50+ relevant methods in the context of design thinking

  • 25+ downloadable and reusable design thinking templates (pdf and ppt) - for working on a challenge at home, in your company or in a workshop - as a workbook and for use in workshops (I give you my permission for further use)

    • Balsamiq (wireframing)

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

Yes. It just validated my thoughts about when we can get most benefits by using Design Thinking based on Stacy's complexity Matrix or Cynefin Framework. Developed very good understanding of brainstorming methods

The resources provided in this course were very beneficial. I will be using them moving forward! I work in Learning & Development and there were a few videos that were focused on strategies for technology that were not applicable to me and some videos about facilitation strategies that are concepts I was already aware of. I would have loved an interactive workbook to use as I moved through the course instead of the embedded assignments, but I'm not sure the Udemy platform allows for that. Overall, I would definitely recommend for people looking to expand their toolkit of design thinking strategies.

I am a professor and teach courses like AI in Business, Digital Transformation, and Design Thinking. I always love to watch and learn from other teachers who deliver the courses of my interest. In my career, a few teachers could impress me with their teaching, and “Julia” is one of them. I came to know about the course offered by Julia. Undoubtedly, she left a deep impression on me. First, I learned several things that I could incorporate into my teaching, in fact, already incorporated. Second, she is sincere in teaching and “sharing” what she knows. This trait – teaching and sharing – is rare. Third, I found she accepted the truth at every moment of teaching; for instance, she launched the course without thinking much, and later, she improved it based on feedback. Yes, I very much agree with her that feedback, whatever it may be, should be taken seriously. I apply a similar approach when researching and publishing it in scientific journals. I submit it to the journal for review the day I complete the first draft. It gets rejected with feedback. I improved the paper by considering feedback seriously, and it gets published in 2-3 iterations! Julia, keep it up and all the best!

A more energetic tone of voice would help the viewers stay focused. Also a tone highlighting specific parts of the text.
