Tangent at Trinity – Masterclass in Design Thinking for Strategy and Change Management

Implementing effective change at an organisational level can be challenging. Ensuring each change considers and engages the people it impacts is essential. Design Thinking is a process whereby managers can design user-centred solutions to organisational challenges. It involves analysis and imagination and works effectively at the individual, team, and organisational levels. It explores solutions based on the requirements of end-users, leading to innovative solutions that meet actual needs.

Many organisations struggle to embrace Design Thinking in their strategic and change management practices. Integrating Design Thinking at this operational level uncovers the human impact of organisational change, leading to shared ownership and enhanced adaptability. The result is a change management strategy operating in tandem with the needs of the people who construct, support, and implement it.

This masterclass will help you consider the power of Design Thinking when adopted at the organisational level. You will explore how this design-led innovation approach can benefit organisational strategy and change management procedures.

This masterclass is designed for individuals and teams working in the product or service industries who want to drive innovation and improve the customer experience. This includes but is not limited to professionals such as accountants, solicitors, engineers, bankers, healthcare professionals, public service employees, research and development teams, start-ups and technology professionals.

• Apply the key principles of Design Thinking at the organisational level.
