AI for Innovation: Design Thinking & Human-Centered Problem Solving

About the Course:

Organisations sometimes implement solutions that fail to meet user needs. At the same time, artificial intelligence is transforming how teams analyse data, generate ideas, and address complex challenges.

AI for Innovation: Design Thinking & Human-Centred Problem Solving is a practical session introducing how AI can support human-centred innovation.

Participants will learn how Design Thinking enables teams to understand users, define challenges, generate ideas, and test solutions early. The session will also show how AI tools can support each stage of the innovation process, helping teams gain insights, broaden ideation, and evaluate solutions more efficiently.
