Design Thinking for Solving Management Problems

Course Overview

Teams read what their leaders tolerate on design thinking in management far more accurately than what their leaders announce. Managers are promoted for competence and then judged on thinking in management, which nobody trained them for. They leave able to brief senior management on this aspect of organisational leadership in terms that support a decision. Participants apply design thinking in management to their own management team throughout, so the output is directly usable. Most organisations already have a policy on the practice within organisational leadership; far fewer can show it working. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for thinking in management. The professional literature on design thinking in management converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The course gives participants a defensible structure for thinking in management and the judgement to adapt it. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the wider organisational leadership agenda broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
