Learning Outcomes
This course teaches participants who have not had any experience with applied Design Thinking some practical Human-Centered design techniques to start changing the way they and their teams work based on the LUMA System of Innovation. The LUMA System of Innovation is a modular and adaptive skills framework of Human-Centered Design methods that forms a shared language of collaboration across countries and cultures. The LUMA System is organised by the principle and collective discipline of Looking carefully, Understanding deeply, Making resourcefully and Adapting in the service of others.
The LUMA System’s structured yet flexible approach enables teams to heighten their Collaborative Intelligence; thereby increasing successful innovative and impactful work to deliver powerful results:
• Each method can be applied individually, for a focused approach to a specific question.
• Multiple methods can be combined in different ways as needed for more complex challenges.
• The methods can be used with any type of problem, in any type of setting. In addition, the LUMA System seamlessly integrates with processes like Agile or Lean Six Sigma to supercharge their impact.
