Overview

Why Design Thinking, and Why Does it Matter? Complexity requires a creative problem-solving mindset to solve problems. Design Thinking has been applied to systems-level problems to innovative product design to ground solutions to what benefits people most through empathy and curiosity. Nurses are natural healthcare designers who are driven to improve patient lives from a place of compassion and work with far from perfect technologies.

Join us and learn techniques to apply design thinking principles in everyday interactions! Be inspired by examples of what’s possible when solving the crux of the problem and feel empowered to change how you work! Learn more about collaboration tools like Miro!
