Training
This training is held in German.
Are innovations a coincidence or can they be planned? How can you ensure that new products will actually be successful on the market? With design thinking as a method and structured process, user-centered innovation becomes systematically possible. This customer-centered view is incorporated into a development process. In two interactive days, you will experience design thinking and learn how you can use this approach successfully in your day-to-day work.
