Zusammenfassung
In den vergangenen Jahren hat sich die Betrachtung von Design Thinking gewandelt: weg von einer reinen Methodensammlung hin zu einem Mindset. Daraus entsteht für professionelle Weiterbildungen die Herausforderung, wie man ein Design-Thinking-Mindset in die Weiterbildungsformate einfließen lassen kann. Dieses Kapitel gibt einen erfahrungsbasierten Eindruck, wie man die sechs Elemente des Design-Thinking-Mindsets für Innovation vermitteln kann: Think & Act in a Human-Centered Way; Collaborate in Diverse Teams; Explore the Problem Space; Learn Through Experimentation; Embrace Uncertainty; and Envision a Radically New Future. Der Beitrag ist im Kern ein Erfahrungsbericht aus der Arbeit des HPI Zertifizierungsprogramms für Design-Thinking-Coaches der HPI Academy. Es wird gezeigt, welche Auswirkungen die Einbindung des Design-Thinking-Mindsets auf die Lernerfahrung der Teilnehmenden im Programm hat. Speziell werden Beobachtungen aus dem Design-Thinking-Deep-Dive betrachtet, dem Startpunkt des 20-tägigen Trainingprogramms. Das Kapitel gibt Design-Thinking-Praktikern und Coaches einen Einblick, wie die Einbindung des Design-Thinking-Mindsets in ein langes Weiterbildungsprogramm einen Mehrwert entwickeln kann, indem die Teilnehmenden Design Thinking als umfassenden Innovationsansatz kennenlernen.
Abstract
The last few years have seen a growing discourse around Design Thinking as a mindset, rather than just a toolbox of methods. Subsequently, one of the questions which arises in the field of professional education is whether and how the design thinking mindset can be effectively taught. This chapter presents a conceptual approach with empirical illustrations for teaching the Design Thinking Mindset for Innovation which consists of six elements: Think & Act in a Human-Centered Way; Collaborate in Diverse Teams; Explore the Problem Space; Learn Through Experimentation; Embrace Uncertainty; and Envision a Radically New Future. This is a practitioner’s approach, as opposed to presenting the findings of an academic study. Using the HPI Certification Program for Design Thinking Coaches as a case study, we showcase the implications and effects of teaching the design thinking mindset, in addition to the process, methods and tools. In particular, we describe the newly developed Design Thinking Deep Dive: the two-day training module which kicks off the 20-day long program. This chapter provides insights for educators and innovators on how starting with the mindset can add value to a long-term education program, by encouraging participants to look at design thinking as a holistic approach.
