Go a step further? Then do our other training about design thinking too, during which you learn to test, adapt and market your ideas. You can do both training courses consecutively (they are always planned with 3 weeks in between) or choose one.

Cette formation a lieu en classe avec d’autres participant·es sur place. Votre parcours comprend trois étapes complémentaires.

Étape 1 : en ligne
Votre formation commence sur Karibu, votre plateforme d’apprentissage en ligne. Vous effectuez cette étape à votre rythme, où et quand vous le souhaitez.

Attention : il est indispensable d’achever cette étape avant de poursuivre votre formation.

Étape 2 : en classe
Cette étape consiste en une journée entière sur le lieu de formation en compagnie des autres participant·es. Ensemble, vous apprenez les un·es des autres, sur la base des connaissances acquises lors de l’étape 1. Le groupe se compose généralement de 6 à 12 participant·es.

Étape 3 : en ligne
Cet apprentissage se déroule également sur Karibu, à votre rythme, où et quand vous le souhaitez.

Step 1: online (1 hour)

• First an introduction: what is design thinking?
• Discover Bright and Clean, the fictional case study in this training.
• Devise an Environment Map for Bright and Clean, in which you identify the influences on your organisation.

Together with others on the course you dive deeper into the theory. You learn more about the first 3 phases in design thinking.

• Phase 1: target audience investigation, discovery and immersion
  • Explore
  • Observe
  • Make mindmap
  • Interview
  • Create persona
• Phase 2: looking beyond the initial question
  • Interpret

  • Ask ‘How Might We’ questions
• Phase 3: generating ideas
  • Ideation
  • Ideation methods
  • Idea selection

In the other training you dive deeper into the 4th phase (experimenting and adjusting) and the 5th phase (testing, adjusting and introducing innovations).

Step 3: online (1 hour)

You briefly recall the key to design thinking. You also gather inspiration with videos and literature.

Then, guided by the tutor, you set to work on your own case or continue your work on the classical case.

How did the assignment go? You discuss it in a moment of reflection together with the tutor and course mates. You receive feedback allowing you to refine your case even further.
