Syllabus Design Thinking Teaching Practitioner

Program Overview

Module 1: DT Mindset & Process (3 Days, on site)
This workshop gives participants the opportunity to expand their understanding of Design Thinking, from a practitioner and coach perspective. There is an in-depth examination of the two core elements of design thinking: the mindset and the process. Both aspects will be examined more closely in an interplay of inputs, versatile exercises and subsequent reflection, and brought into line with the respective prior understandings. With a view to the transition to the second module, the focus of reflection is always on the coach perspective.

Module 2: Team Coaching & Facilitation (3 Days, on site)
Different emphases are placed on the essential components of team coaching. Thus, at the beginning, the focus is on procedural support, while the second half of the workshop focuses on recognizing and dealing with different team dynamics. Throughout the training, our experienced HPI Academy coaches provide continuous, intensive support and personal feedback to all participants.

Very valuable: reflection and personal feedback

For me, the six Day were very special because, on the one hand, I was able to explore Design Thinking in more depth and, at the same time, I was already able to try myself out as a coach. In addition to the direct practical experience of accompanying a team, I also found the reflection and personal feedback here great, which I experienced as very valuable.

An important question was my own role in situations with special team dynamics, for which I developed a new sense through the workshops. Above all, I took away a new, more variable view of moderation situations, which gave me impulses to shape my personal moderation role more actively.
