Managing VUCA with Design Thinking: Unleash! e-Forum and e-Summer School
Managing VUCA with Design Thinking: Unleash! e-Forum and e-Summer School (30-31 July)
The COVID-19 pandemic is a stark manifestation of a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world. Join the Unleash! e-Forum on 30-31 July to learn how design thinking could help organisations develop the agility, resilience and the creative process to tackle the ‘new normal’ brought about by the pandemic. Admission is free.
Design Thinking is a creative and structured approach to integrate the needs of stakeholders, the possibilities of technology and the economic viability in tackling organisation challenges. The Forum is an annual anchor event of the Unleash! Programme organised by the Hong Kong Design Centre to advocate the application of design thinking as a creative problem solving approach.
This year the forum will be conducted online with two half-day events. Local and international experts and practitioners will share how design thinking can address the intractable challenges of societies and businesses, engage people and facilitate the digital transformation process. Here is the programme outline.
