Learning Design Thinking

Learning Design Thinking walks through the five-stage design thinking framework popularized by IDEO and Stanford's d.school: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test. Randall Elliott keeps it practical, explaining what each phase is actually for and how to run it with a real team, rather than treating it as an abstract innovation buzzword.

It's a short, focused course — closer to a primer than a deep specialization — which makes it a useful starting point for product managers, designers, or team leads who keep hearing 'design thinking' in meetings and want to understand the actual process behind the term before applying it.
