- Introducing Design Methodology from Royal College of Art -

At the RCA, design thinking is taught in the training of designers who go on to lead global brands worldwide as creative directors and CEOs. In contrast to standard, linear approaches that build on tested models, design thinking is creatively structured, analytic and responsive. It draws in diverse disciplines and multiple areas of expertise and exploration, starting with the core premise that anything could be a design opportunity.

 

These jointly delivered 2-day workshops will utilise expertise and educational approaches from the Royal College of Art to enable participants to understand the purpose of design thinking in promoting innovation. The course will explore real-world applications and strategies for design thinking and will cover five main areas: the search for innovation opportunities; radical idea generation; oversight of convergent and divergent thinking; the power of prototyping and presenting ideas convincingly.
