IBM’s Enterprise Design Thinking Certification Courses
IBM was an early proponent of Design Thinking. The organization has implemented design thinking ideas across many disciplines and even provides free online design thinking courses based on its own expertise. IBM's approach to applying design thinking at the pace and scale required by a modern organization is known as Enterprise Design Thinking. The organization thinks it assists teams in not only forming intent, but also delivering innovative solutions that enrich the lives of those they serve. The courses now available range from short and specialized (a few hours) to intensive (a 3 to 6 weeks team-based lessons):
- Practitioner – This is a 2 hours design thinking class that will give you a baseline of Enterprise Design Thinking skills: collaboration, synthesis, design research, prototyping, and storytelling.
- Co-Creator – This is a three to six weeks series of practice based modules will help you work on methods like identifying stakeholders, creating a research plan, and testing ideas.
- Team Essentials for AI – This course is based on IBM’s AI Essentials Framework. It teaches the framework and tools you need to recognize responsible AI design, align your team, and work with data sources to start building an AI solution.
All of IBM's courses and toolkit activities are presently available for free. To get started, all that is required is the creation of an account.
