Roger Martin, Dean of the Rotman School of Management, said, 'When it comes to innovation, business has much to learn from the world of design...business people need to be designers - to think and work like designers and embed design-shop characteristics in their organizations.'

You're in business to bring some product or service to market. Even with a common vision, various departments and their people have different needs. Add the constraints of regulatory requirements to the mix and sometimes it's a wonder anything gets done in an effective and timely manner. Design tinking is a process for understanding needs and embracing constraints, with the goal of synthesizing solutions that bring value. It goes beyond simple objective analysis of a system, to holistic understanding and empathy, arriving at better solutions through collaboration and experimentation. This audio conference will discuss the basics of design thinking and how it can be used to streamline your quality systems bring value to your business.
