On Monday – January 9, 2023 – REMEDY team participated in a workshop on the Design Thinking method. „Design Thinking method has its origins in working methods used by designers creating things that are useful and also easy and fun to use. Apple’s first computer mouse for home computers was designed using this method. But over the past decade, Design Thinking has also made a dizzying career outside of design. Today, it is used in many areas of business – R&D, product and service development, marketing, management, or HR – wherever it is understood that customer, user, and employee experiences are essential.” Source: hearts & heads
