I'm pleased to share news of BMC 377 - Design Thinking, a course I designed and proposed to the University of Calgary, was recently approved by University of Calgary Continuing Education's Council for Academic Policy & Planning (CAPP) & is now live for registration ? https://conted.ucalgary.ca/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=51176168
I've been contemplating the idea of offering "Design Thinking" as a course for years and after a wonderful conversation with Rosanna Quintieri, Program Manager, University of Calgary earlier this year, we got moving ahead with the proposal process. At my company, Market Grade, the tagline in our crest is "Design Before Dishonour" and while most people think this refers to actual design deliverables, much of our strategic consulting work involves Design Thinking. Over the last decade we've developed our own approach to design thinking rooted in our "Design Before Dishonour" philosophy and I'm looking forward to sharing this body of knowledge and experience next Spring.
Thank you Rosanna for your continued support & assistance. Amazing how a conversation culminated in the launch of this course. I'm honoured and privileged to be involved in the University of Calgary taking a leadership position as one of a handful of universities to offer this type of curriculum.
