Learning Design Thinking
Beginner 2 hours English Course Certificate
Our recommendation
A short LinkedIn Learning primer on design thinking — the human-centred approach to solving problems through empathy, ideation and prototyping. At about two hours it is a quick overview rather than a deep course, accessed through a LinkedIn Learning subscription.

About this course
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.
What you'll learn
Understand the five stages of the design thinking process
Run empathize and define phases with a real team
Facilitate ideation sessions that produce usable concepts
Build and test low-fidelity prototypes
Apply design thinking to ambiguous, non-obvious problems
