Core Course: Design Thinking for Managers. The Design Thinking for Managers (DTM) course illumines how adopting an approach towards business problems which blends design thinking (or human-centered design) in the sense of ‘what’ and implementation or operationalisation of solutions on one hand, and ethnographic thinking on the other, in the sense of thinking about an evolving ‘why’ and the relations and flows thereof, can serve as a impactful aid for the manager, the entrepreneur, and the social/development sector leader.
