Rethinking Innovation Processes

On October 23, we will meet at the ARENA2036 research campus to get to know a new method that thinks outside the box: In this module, you will receive hands-on training in the Design Thinking method. Design thinking is an iterative process that helps you to understand a problem or challenge from the user's perspective. By questioning and understanding users' experiences, you build empathy for them, develop solutions with the help of various creativity techniques and build an initial prototype. You will go through the entire design thinking process together in groups. We are hosting this workshop together with our colleagues from the Design Factory Stuttgart.


What you can expect:

  • Method training through participation in a practical Design Thinking Challenge - led by experts
  • Get to know creativity methods for ideation
  • Deepen your understanding of the importance of user-centricity and empathy
  • Learn more about problem-solution fit and how you can apply it to tackle everyday (work) tasks

For your participation in this workshop you will receive 0.25 LP via the Graduate Academy (GRADUS) after the end of the workshop series RISE IV. 

Please register in advance by e-mail if you would like to participate: e4f@eni.uni-stuttgart.de
