Your Coach

The Design Thinking Advanced Presentation Seminar helped me a lot to deepen my knowledge about Design Thinking and to transfer it more tangibly into my everyday consulting work. It quickly became clear which specific tools and methods we would be using in the seminar to help design practical solutions. The support from the Hasso Plattner Institute was very good, and the technical support from the team coaches in the teams of 5 was impeccable. Open questions and different idea scenarios were answered immediately and discussed in the team.
