It is a very complete course! I am delighted with the contents, I had previously had contact with the methodology, but this course has greatly expanded my knowledge and landscape of Design thinking.

By Adriano D P S d A on 9-Nov-19

Even though it is online course, it provided a pragmatic of design thinking methodology, such as steps from inspiration, ideation and implementation, many actual examples, which points we need to be careful and so forth. With this program, I believe many of us gain good understanding and experience about Design Thinking!

By Muhammad A A on 11-Nov-19

I am enjoying the hands-on approach and the practical use of the knowledge. The fact that your assumptions as well as progress gets reviewed by your peers is both new as well as a wonderful knowledge check. Good work HEC!

By Annette S on 24-Jul-19

The course gave good insights on what Design Thinking is and how to put it in practice. The structure is a little bit long though and some parts could be synthesized. Sometimes the argument was clear but I was lost in the length of the explanations and examples. I think I would have preferred to have: the argument, one or two short examples and a conclusion if needed. But all in all it was a very helpful course! :)
