​

I have applied Design Thinking in my agile project management. I learnt to listen more and ask the 5 "why" to get to the root cause. I have also learnt to observe details within the environment and tell a person body language to monitor team dynamics and improve communications.

​

Design Thinking allowed me to improve my understanding of mindsets and how to continuously ideate. This allowed me to achieve better team communications and ideas generation within my organization.

WHY DO YOU NEED DESIGN THINKING?

Society Needs Design Thinking to Solve Human Problems

​

Prime Minister of Singapore, PM Lee spoken about Design Thinking in 2018:

​

"Our founding fathers (of Singapore) had to understand the issues, define the problem, come out with creative ideas and solutions, prototype the idea, test out the innovations and constantly review the solutions. This is the essence of Design Thinking. "

​

If our PM demands it from the Singaproe government, what's more for me and you?

Companies Needs Design Thinking to Innovate or Die

 

DBS CEO, Piyush Gupta spoken about threat of Fintech in 2017:

​

"Alipay hit $100b in less than a year with no branches. They gave out $60m lines of credit in Singles' Day shopping festival.  No bank in the world can do that today. These companies have an installed customer base and so are a far more formidable challenge for banks."

​

The industry has realised that the value of design as a strategic differentiator and are increasingly using good design to improve their products and services to innovate and provide better experience for their customers.

Individuals Need Design Thinking to Compete (and Populate Your CV)

 

Organisations are waking up to Design Thinking and they value (and are hiring) Design Thinkers- especially in the market where innovation and creativity gets valued. 

​

Do you have problems getting your stakeholders to common understanding? Do you understand your customers?

​

Do you have difficulty coming out with ideas? Or you do not feel equipped to draw them out? Are you not confident of your next product launch without testing?

 

Your boss hates ineffective workers and we totally understand. Outpace your colleagues with powerful design thinking skills that will catch your boss' eyes.
