Global Design Thinking Workshops (GDTW) are programs that go beyond the mere introduction to Design Thinking as a process. We have been creating this format as deep dives into the strategic questions of Design Thinking as a mindset and we are offering this course to HPI students and external participants. The next Global Design Thinking Workshop with the focus topic "Teamed Leadership" will take place in March 2023 in Potsdam.
In the Basic Track, you will learn about Design Thinking as a holistic approach in the interplay of the iterative process, the work in multidisciplinary teams and our innovative learning environment. The program starts with a one-week project that introduces the method and mindset of Design Thinking. In the following three-, and eight-week projects you investigate users, apply different brainstorming techniques, and create functional and human-centered prototypes. Applications for the Basic Track in the summer semester of 2023 are open until January 31st, 2023.
Since 2007 the HPI School of Design Thinking – HPI D-School for short – has offered supplementary programs in Design Thinking that are unique in Europe. Participants learn human-centered innovation processes and gain experience implementing them in actual projects. You can find the most important information at a glance in our flyer.
The Advanced Track enables advanced Design Thinkers to deepen their knowledge in a hybrid format. In a 12-week project, you will work closely with external partners from large companies, non-profit organizations or political institutions to develop innovative solutions to real-world problems. Applicationss for the Advanced Track in the summer semester of 2023 are open until January 31st, 2023
