About
Download the flyerThe success of a project depends not only on the excellence of its management, but also on the actual benefits it creates for the organization. Consequently, developing and integrating new processes, products and services that deliver the expected benefits requires both the ability to explore the unknown and to design projects that make sense to their end-users. In this sense, the use of design thinking in project management responds to these imperatives of innovation and adoptability.
Clearly, integrating design thinking right from the ideation stage enables us to create innovative solutions to new problems. To help you get to grips with this concept, we'll be focusing on users and their needs. From this starting point, we'll look at how you can facilitate team alignment around a single raison d'être, while facilitating exchanges between the various stakeholders through a collaborative, co-creative process.
Finally, and in keeping with the spirit of this short program, we will study together the principles of design thinking and lean management through concrete case studies, to enable you to integrate these concepts into your approach to project management and to articulate it efficiently with an agile approach within your organization.
