Designing products and services that add value to users does not seem obvious at first. Therefore, innovation, research and user experience are essential. This is where Design Thinking as a methodology comes into play. It gives us tools to know the true needs of people and allows us to adapt our products and services to provide real value.
Innovation and design are success factors for new projects and companies. In a changing world we need to adapt, and creativity is our best tool.

During this talk we will address:

  • The process of designing and the importance of creativity.
