Applying "design thinking" to solve talent management and human capital problems has recently become a topic of interest for many design practitioners and educators, but this is nothing new to ELOC faculty who have over a decade of experience in this area. ELOC courses have been created to distill our depth of expertise in teaching professionals how to use design methods to improve the "people side of business," so that leaders can learn how to apply these techniques to transform their organizations.
It's often not the tools or frameworks for design that hold the key to success, but understanding how people think, interact, collaborate, learn, perform and thrive in complex, constantly changing environments--and how design methods properly applied with this understanding can transform individuals, teams, organizations, and the systems in which they are embedded. Our classes are designed specifically for individuals who have prior change experience and are looking to elevate their leadership skills by fusing design methodologies with the fundamentals of learning and change.
