Introduction to Design Thinking

SUMMARY

Design Thinking in this context is primarily aimed at company executives who know where the introduction of AI will bring benefits. The goal is to develop innovative solutions for implementing such an introduction through the Design Thinking process, taking into account relevant challenges (e.g. what decision-making processes look like and where AI can be automated or where there is potential for optimization). This learning path is ideal for learners who want to deepen their knowledge of specific implementation options using design thinking.

In this learning lessons, we will introduce Design Thinking.
