About HKDI inspire*Design Thinking 2018

Design Thinking is a broad term given to a set of methods for user-centred innovation strategies that designers adopt during the process of designing.

While this process of creative problem solving has been widely used within the realm of design, it also has high relevance in other disciplines and its gradually being adopted outside of the design profession. Design Thinking serves to stimulate open questions and the continuous search for different creative avenues beyond boundaries of disciplines and contexts, with a view to promoting positive change in society.

As a leading Design education institution, HKDI endeavours t&o advance the application of Design Thinking as a transferable skill for solving problems of all kinds, hence rolling out an initiative entitled “HKDI inspire* Design Thinking 2018” which includes a series of activities that engage the general public, in collaboration with various organisations that share the same vision.

In September and October, HKDI will launch a series of master lectures and workshops that engage students, teachers and interested professional and public, not only from Design but also other disciplines to harness the power of Design Thinking in resolving “wicked problems” in different facets of our lives, hence promoting its relevance and adoption in all walks of life. Topics include Healthy by Design, Interdisciplinary Thinking for a Disrupted World, Food and Design: Innovation for Eyes and Stomach, Design-driven Entrepreneurship and Design Thinking for Smart City.

* HKDI reserves the right to change or update the programme without prior notice. Final programme details will be announced on this webpage.
