About the IDE Master Classes for Professionals
This IDE Master Class is aimed at professionals who would like to take a more strategic role in the innovative efforts of companies, and who want to go beyond executing new product/service design briefs. With a fully renewed content, the Master Class will focus on a practice-based and research-validated process for growing design into a strategic partner for companies wanting to innovate meaningfully and successfully. Covered topics will include aspects like setting up a design strategy, organizing the design function in the right way, interacting with stakeholders, running strategic design projects and nurturing the design team. During the course participants will set up a long-term plan for scaling the impact of design and identify a set of tactics to get started with it. Furthermore, the course will make participants reflect on the most appropriate mindset and leadership style to operate in strategic contexts.
