Many leading organizations such as Apple, Google, and IBM have adopted a design thinking approach. It is being taught at universities around the world (Harvard, Stanford, UBC, etc.). Applying creativity and innovation is emerging as a standard operation in all types of organizations.
Design Thinking: A Human-Centred Approach to Primary Health Care Improvement will be an interactive workshop designed to enable participants to take solutions and ideas to new heights. During the session, we will examine innovation and design thinking, and provide the opportunity to apply a design thinking methodology to a real-life primary health care challenge.
By attending this workshop, participants will explore a well-defined practice framework that works to identify the issue, define it from the end-user (which includes staff) perspective and integrate creative, and human-centred, approaches to explore and test solutions.
