Overview
Almost every company competes to some degree on the basis of continual innovation and to be commercially successful, new product and service ideas must, of course, meet a real—or perceived—customers’ need. Stiff competition in the market place compels organisations to constantly review their positions, products and services so as to be current and proactive in meeting customers’ needs. This requires interrogating achievements in order to modify existing products and services, and marketing strategies. In this course, participants will be introduced to the concept and strategies of innovation through design thinking and how to effectively apply it.
