Make a difference in your career and transform the lives of those you serve with our Innovation Design Thinking Workshop.
Don’t just think like a design champion. Innovate like one.
Welcome to the Ampersand Design Thinking Certificate Program.
Our expert faculty guides you through a 4-day live design thinking workshop or 8-session virtual program where you learn how to apply the methodology of design thinking in order to innovate something.
This journey map in design thinking starts with defining a precise challenge and discovering your customers’ unarticulated needs and desires. With this design thinking workshop, you will be able to design, prototype, and validate surprisingly powerful and distinctive new products, services, and experiences. You will work in a small team and “pitch” your solution to a panel of venture specialists for critique and refinement, which is key to innovation success.

Remember, Innovation is a Team Sport.

Students work in small teams to:
- DEFINE exact requirements to achieve your business goals.
- DISCOVER unmet needs of your customers, partners and end users.
- DESIGN the best solution and prototype from a range of concepts.
- DEPLOY your innovations for market impact.

Come, Set the Wheels in Motion for Your Next Innovation
In our open enrollment program, we assemble small diverse collaborative teams. They learn by doing, and apply the key skills in each phase.
Or host a custom program to tackle your most vital innovation challenges.
For organizations that prefer a custom program, Ampersand will walk with you to design the program that best serves your needs. Our faculty design experts will guide your leaders and their project teams to apply the process to a real customer issue you face today.
