Incorporating Design Thinking into HR

Design Thinking has become a fashionable term when talking about innovation and agile ways of working. However, this is not just another Design Thinking course, it is a practical course that shows you HOW to apply Design Thinking in HR. We will share our learnings from a series of workshops and projects in HR applying the Design Thinking philosophy and we will provide hand-picked and custom methods that are specifically tailored to creating an improved customer experience of HR.

The objective of this course is to provide you with a solid foundation of Design Thinking in HR, a pragmatic toolkit, and templates to show you how to use Design Thinking in your organisation.

Using Human Centred Design Principles in HR

Today, experiences are the basis of increasing competition for businesses and organisations. People of all generations are placing more value on experiences and relationships over things. According to the Centre for Generational Kinetics, 74% of Americans now prioritise experiences over products or things. And millennials, the largest generation in the workforce currently, are leading the charge in placing this newfound value on experiences. They are spending more money and time with companies and joining organisations based on the quality of the experiences offered. This emphasises just how important designing experiences, and experiences of work with the human at the centre of them, really are. In this course led by Ian Bailie we explore what human centred design is, the way in which it’s evolved over time and how it draws on elements of user centred design and design thinking.

Creating a Digital HR Foundation

Digital is a word on everyone’s lips at the moment. What does it really mean for HR? In this course, we address how HR as a function can become more digital and HR can help drive business outcomes in a digital age.

This courses shares learnings from over 2,000 global companies and what has worked for them when building their digital HR strategies. You will learn the key building blocks of “digital” for the HR function and grasp a solid foundation of what the term “digital” means for a progressive HR function. On completion of this course, you will become more fluent in discussing aspects of the digital transformation ahead of all of us and be prepared to build a digital HR strategy.
