Design Thinking introductory workshop course in 3 Days

I think more than a profession, Design is a way of how we approach problems. Therefore I want to spread the awareness about Design in whatever little way possible for me.

I am part of a 3 member team which offers an elective workshop course to introduce the method of Design thinking to management students at Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore.

This course is offered to regular management graduates who are part of

  • Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP)
  • Executive Post Graduate Programme in Management (EPGP)
  • Post Graduate Programme in Public Policy & Management (PGPPM)

We have been offering this course since 2012 for the last 5 years.

We give the students a perfect environment of both chaos and order. There is loads right brain analysis, lots of ideas, innovative solutions for set of real world problems along with fun.

Why not have fun while solving wicked problems?

A glimpse of the environment of both chaos and order

It is always interesting to see how managements students when pushed to use the creative side of their brain come-up with amazingly simple solutions to complex problems.

Note: A special thanks to P S Lakshman and Prof. S Rajeev for giving this opportunity to me.
