Today’s competitive and dynamic landscape requires individuals and firms to re-imagine how they approach business. Solving complex problems often involves a multi-disciplinary team working collaboratively, combining both creative and analytical approaches. Design Thinking employs a set of methods and corresponding mindsets, promoting a human-centered approach to innovation. This process concentrates on a rigorous means of understanding human behavior to generate deep insights, articulate needs and desires, develop design solutions, then critique and test those solutions.
The Design Thinking Certificate Program at Missouri State University focuses on innovative thinking as a means of designing products and services. You will learn new ways to manage complexity, serve human needs, and create sustainable products benefitting both people and businesses alike. Throughout the program, you'll be guided by professional designers and educators who are experts in their field. The project-based, interdisciplinary curriculum will break you into small teams, building projects from beginning to end. Our format is designed to train and develop your technical and analytical skills, as well as Design Thinking leadership insights you will need to move innovation initiatives forward within your organization. The online asynchronous course is available on all devices with internet access and is full of fast paced, hands-on exercises that result in deliverables you can take back to your company and apply immediately. |
