Humantific, Basadur Applied Creativity and In/Situm, in collaboration with NextDesign Leadership Institute, have created a new executive education program. The new innovation enabling-focused curriculum encompasses basic skill-building in Strategic Co-Creation, Design Research and Visual Sensemaking. Its the skill set many strategically-minded executives are looking for in a complex, continuously changing world. Long before deciding whether service design, product design or experience design is needed, executives seek to make sense of the marketplace complexities and determine what the challenges and opportunities actually are. This requires a new set set of skills. The new program is being offered through NextD. The first round of sessions is sold out.
