Design Thinking Training in Zakopane

Design Thinking is a human-centered methodology for solving problems through empathy, definition, ideation, prototyping and testing. Focusing on the first two stages — Empathize and Define — helps teams better understand internal clients and define the right problems to solve.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level to intermediate-level teams and leaders who wish to strengthen their connection with internal clients, reduce resistance to change, and improve operational efficiency through practical, collaborative methods.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Use active listening and interviewing techniques to gather meaningful insights about internal clients.
• Create empathy maps and capture user needs and pain points.
• Differentiate real root problems from perceived issues using tools like the 5 Whys and problem trees.
• Draft clear, actionable problem statements (POVs) that guide solution work.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Practical, hands-on exercises and role-plays.
• Group workshops and plenary feedback sessions.

In this instructor-led, live workshop training in Zakopane (online or onsite), participants will learn how to apply the five stages of Design Thinking to better understand the problems experienced by end-users of a product or service, then develop the best approach for resolving them.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Use creative strategies to match customers' needs with technologically feasible solutions.
• Formulate a strategy to increase customer value and enhance product and service offerings.

Overview:

There are Five stages in the Design Thinking (DT) process (empathize, define the problem, ideate, prototype, test).

In an increasingly complex world, we deal with problems that may need special approaches. Design Thinking helps deal with complex problems. Mastering design-thinking helps to deal with complex problems effectively, communicate better, persuade efficiently, improve business results and enhances organizational and personal behavior and performance.

• How DT works: learn from people and problem, find patterns, design model (model drift), test the model, evaluate the model and re-engineer.
• Relationship between DT, innovation and entrepreneurship.
• DT methods and tools: persona, stakeholder map, customer journey map, service blueprint, business model innovation.
• Application of DT: design mindset, disruptive innovation, iterative approach, agile estimation technique, critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, leadership readiness, communication skills, technology savvy, forward thinking, intercultural and ethical competency, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiating skills, conflict resolution.

Objectives:

• To understand the fundamentals and nuances of DT
• To explore key concepts, factors, theories, types, and models in DT
• To experiment, experience and practice DT

Delivery:

This is a 1 day (4 hours) training course and consists of:

• lectures (40% - presentation of theories, concepts, models, and interactions),
• group exercises (30% - group dynamics, games, group discussion, and mock-conflict resolution exercises),
• individual activities (15% - writing, designing and peer discussion)
• and others (15% - videos, reading).

Note: due to the nature of this course there is a minimum group size of 3

Design Thinking is a globally recognized method for creating innovative services, processes, and products.

At the heart of Design Thinking is the human. The essence of the method lies in properly defining the problem and focusing on the real needs of the end user. Awareness of this fundamental difference reduces the risk of failure.

The main goal of the training is to familiarize participants with the practical application of the method in everyday work.

This instructor-led, live training in (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level to intermediate-level PCB designers and electronics engineers who wish to develop a complete and controlled PCB design workflow using Altium Designer.

Participants work on one connected project, progressing from project setup and component libraries through schematic capture, PCB layout and verification to manufacturing outputs and controlled production release.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Create and manage structured Altium Designer PCB projects.

• Build and validate schematic designs and component libraries.

• Configure PCB rules, routing, DRC and manufacturing constraints.

• Generate and verify fabrication, assembly and mechanical outputs.

• Apply practical high-speed design constraints.

• Manage engineering changes and controlled re-releases.

This live instructor-led training in , available online or onsite, is designed for entry-level and intermediate PCB designers and electronics engineers who wish to master the complete and controlled PCB design process in Altium Designer.

Participants work on a single shared project – from environment configuration and library preparation, through schematic and PCB design, to generating manufacturing data and controlled project release.

Upon completing the training, participants will be able to:

• Create and organize PCB projects in Altium Designer.

• Build and verify schematics and component libraries.

• Configure PCB rules, routing, DRC, and manufacturing constraints.

• Generate and check manufacturing, assembly, and mechanical documentation.
