What is Design Thinking?
Design thinking is an innovation method that combines creativity with a structured process. It involves the use of a wide range of powerful tools such as personas and customer journey maps. By embracing this approach, you not only develop new, valuable concepts but also learn how to design circular business models. These models enable you to align sustainability with economic value, thereby creating a lasting impact on both your organization and society.
By discovering new (business) opportunities that truly meet your customer's (or end user's) needs, you set yourself apart from your competitors, conceive successful solutions, and capitalize on innovations. The integration of circular business models and AI-supported tools adds an extra dimension to your innovation process, by not only addressing the current needs of your customers but also contributing to a more sustainable future.
