DESIGN THINKING FOR SOCIAL CHANGE (FTRS-3400)

"Design Thinking" is a human-centered approach to problem solving and new product development that emerged from the high-tech, entrepreneurial world of Silicon Valley. It has evolved over the years into a process that is rooted in community-based research, ongoing testing of assumptions, a resistance to immediate answers for the sake of deeper insights, and hypothesizing future consequences. The course is an introductory level course meant for religious leaders, non-profit leaders and leaders involved in social change initiatives.
