Every little problem in your daily live can be a starting point for a great business idea. In this workshop you will learn how to understand problems holistically and find user-centred solutions. We will show you possibilities how to assess and test the market potential of your ideas and turn it into a tangible business model.
With the Design Thinking process you will learn a methodology and mindset to generate, evaluate and select innovative ideas on the basis of real user needs and come up with prototypes that can be validated and challenged in a business model
