How will jobs change? What challenges will employers and employees face? How can the design process help businesses and employees to create innovative solutions to overcome such challenges?The course is a collaboration between UNSW Sydney Art & Design and AMP Amplify, AMP's innovation and ideas program.

Great to learn from other classmates, great ideas and insight

By Joan C on 15-Apr-19

It's a great course to have an introduction to the concept but specially to connect Design thinkg methodology to it

By Claudia on 13-Jan-19

The content is well presented, holistic and engaging. The way one is mapped through the process is intuitive. I found it logical, affirming and inspiring.

Content and organisation, as well as support, were excellent. Unfortunately, there was minimal interaction between and among participants in discussion forums; probably due to low numbers in this early iteration. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to get a better understanding of the subject.
