Design Thinking for Tech: Solving Problems and Realizing Value in 24 Hours

In just 24 lessons of one hour or less, Design Thinking for Tech helps  you inject techniques and exercises into your projects using the same  systematic and creative process that designers have used for years.

Anderson  walks you through a simple four-phase Design Thinking model, showing  how to loop back, keep learning, and continuously refine your work.  You’ll start by understanding the essential “what, how, when, why, and  who” of Design Thinking. Next, you’ll use core Design Thinking  techniques to understand the big picture, focus on your most critical  problems, think more creatively about them, take the “next best steps”  toward problem resolution and value creation, and along the way rapidly  iterate for progress.

Every lesson builds on what you’ve already  learned, with exercises crafted to deliver directly relevant experience.  Regardless of your role in the world of technology, you’ll learn how to  supercharge success for any tech-related project, business initiative,  or digital transformation.
