Design thinking has become one of the most important advances in innovation and leadership: the top 10 MBA programs now include design thinking in the curriculum, top VC firms have brought design teams in-house and many of the top management consultancies have acquired design firms as well. A recent survey conducted by EY, in collaboration with Forrester, found that for 96% of executives, design thinking is very or extremely important to their company. Yet, only 37% said they have strong or expert capabilities to do so. This indicates a significant gap between vision and execution. In this module, you will learn the EY approach to design thinking. This module can open up a new level of creativity, motivation, leadership, humanity and fun at work.
