Learn IDEO’s approach to generate and execute new ideas.

Course Details:

From Ideas to Action will teach you the methodology IDEO experts rely on to unlock new visions of the future. This course will give you the tools to build three critical design thinking skills:

    1. Idea Cultivation: Brainstorming is just the beginning. Learn new techniques to tap into your—and your team’s—creativity.
    2. Rapid Prototyping: Develop quick and early experiments, so you (and others) can put your ideas to the test.
    3. Strategic Iteration: Move quickly through the process to find the most feasible—and desirable—solution.

This course is designed for team leaders, innovators, and problem solvers.

What our learn?

This is an excellent course with great, experienced professionals. The content is good and the videos and exercises really take you through a learning experience, which is good for adult learning. Finally, the time and pace fit reasonably in an executive work schedule.

I got a lot out of the course. I feel that I have a good foundation of some basic principles of Design Thinking and I had fun applying them. I was actually surprised with my final project and the progress that I made.
