Design thinking has become very popular recently. It is because many people believe that design thinking can help generate innovative solutions. Many business and non-business organizations are adopting it to resolving their problems. Even business schools and other disciplines include design thinking in their curriculum. Design Thinking is a core concept in design discipline which can facilitate an effective process for solving problems from design perspectives.
This project received 1 million Hong Kong dollars to develop a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) in Design Thinking to demystify design thinking as a process for problem-solving and learn how to use design thinking to solve complex and wicked problems.
