Course Overview
Avoid common project management failures by constructing a loop between you and the users of your products and services.
“We’re living in a world right now where disruption is constant and the pace of change is unrelenting. We can’t simply manage what is known, we actually have to lead into the unknown.” Sara Kalick, Leadfully VP and General Manager
The faster the world changes, the less likely the assumptions made at the beginning of a project will survive to the end.
Design Thinking is an ideal tool for cultivating the flexibility and awareness to keep projects on track to produce something truly useful.
