The HPI d-school at the Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam is one of Europe’s leading innovation hubs. Inspired by Stanford's d.school, it is dedicated to advancing human-centered problem-solving through cutting-edge research, education, and training. Known for its interdisciplinary approach, the HPI d-school empowers professionals, students, and researchers to tackle complex challenges and shape the future at the intersection of human needs and technology.
I highly recommend this course to enhance your skills in design thinking and change management.
Attending the Design Thinking and Change Management course at ESMT was an incredibly inspiring experience. The practical approach, where we immediately applied the knowledge with a real company, made the learning process engaging and memorable. Ulf Schäfer's presentation on change management was a highlight, inspiring me to implement the practices in my job and even make a career change. I enrolled in the Executive MBA program at ESMT and relocated to Berlin, a life-changing decision.
The HPI Academy, together with ESMT, manages to set up a unique training concept through the combination of professionalism and close cooperation with the corporate world.
The smooth organization and innovative implementation of the workshops is noticeable and so is the involvement of important collaboration partners. In my opinion, this kind of involvement is essential as it gives workshop participants the opportunity to not only develop their skills within a “vacuum”, but to build them up and actually test them using practical use cases.
This program can be taken as part of the Postgraduate Diploma in Management curriculum.
