What you'll learn

Defining the wrong problem can lead to wasted time, misaligned solutions, and missed opportunities for innovation. In this course, Design Thinking: Define, you’ll learn to turn user research into clear, actionable problem statements that guide creative solutions. First, you’ll explore how to synthesize research findings to uncover user insights and patterns. Next, you’ll discover how to craft compelling point-of-view (POV) statements that articulate the user's needs and context. Finally, you’ll learn how to translate those POVs into effective “How Might We” questions that open the door to meaningful ideation. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of the Define phase of Design Thinking needed to confidently frame the right problems and set your team up for innovation success.
