About this Training

From assumption to evidence, the full design thinking framework

What to Expect

Design thinking has a clear process. Most teams only ever use part of it. This training walks you through every stage, from understanding real user needs to validating a solution before it's built.

Delivered across 3 sessions, each one covers a distinct stage of the process. Attend all three for the full framework, or focus on the session most relevant to where you are right now. Each one is instructor-led, structured, and designed to give you knowledge you can apply the same week.

This is a training, not a workshop. There are no group exercises or live pitches.

Training Breakdown

One training. Three parts.

Each part covers a distinct stage of the design thinking process. Attend all three to understand the complete framework.

Part One

Empathize & Define — Understanding The Real Problem

Before a team can design anything well, it has to understand who it's designing for and why that user's problem matters.

Learning Objective

Recognize the difference between an empathy interview and a sales conversation

Understand how personas and journey maps are built and where they go wrongUnderstand how personas and journey maps are built and where they go wrong

Identify the difference between a symptom and a root cause in user feedback

Evaluate whether a problem statement is specific enough to align a team

Part Two

Ideate & Prototype — From Insight To Concept

With the problem defined, this session covers how teams generate and test ideas before engineering time is spent on the wrong thing.

Learning Objective

Understand how ideation techniques like SCAMPER and mind mapping actually work

Recognize the difference between divergent and convergent thinking, and when each applies

Understand what makes a prototype low-fidelity enough to be useful

Explain how a design sprint compresses weeks of debate into days

Part Three

Test & Iterate — Validating Before You Build

The final session closes the loop, covering how to read a usability test and turn the results into a clear decision.

Learning Objective

Understand what makes a usability test produce actionable feedback, not anecdotes

Distinguish a design problem from a positioning problem

Recognize the difference between a go, iterate, or kill signal

Understand how design thinking fits into a team's existing product rituals

How it Works

Structured Learning. No Fluff.

A Proven Framework

Built on the same empathize-define-ideate-prototype-test process used by IDEO, not an invented curriculum.

Built for teams

Every stage is translated for how PMs actually work, not generic design theory from a design bootcamp.

Real design cases

Every stage is walked through with real empathy interviews, prototypes, and usability tests, not textbook theory.

A framework you keep

Every session ends with a repeatable framework you can recognize, apply, and bring back to your team.
