Have you ever found yourself in a meeting and thought, "Why do we keep doing the same thing OVER and OVER? I am ready to improve our old ways of working!” If so, you aren’t alone. Now is the time to learn about Design Thinking. Many people think Design Thinking is a new concept. Yet, this practice dates back to the 18th century. Design Thinking helps you reframe how you approach problems, conversations, and relationships at your organization.
Join Hervé Legenvre, PhD, Professor and Director of Value Creation Observatory at EIPM, and Greg Anderson, Senior Vice President at WNS Denali to learn:
-
The history of Design Thinking in under 5 minutes
-
The 5-step process of Design Thinking
-
How Procurement can apply Design Thinking concepts
-
Practical examples and stories about how Design Thinking adds value to Procurement
Ultimately, Design Thinking is your tool to look at problems through a telescope - to see the big picture and understand how your business functions in a holistic way. Your entire procurement ecosystem benefits from Design Thinking. Now is the time to listen to that inner voice - out with the old ways of working and in with the new, innovative ways to do things differently.
