Course information

Course Summary

Design Thinking and Challenge Management combine techniques that foster an innovation culture in companies with a human-centric approach.

Ongoing digitization sets totally new standards every day and brings a lot of new requirements to economies, businesses, and people. The digital transformation is changing society and is evident all around us.
Innovation cycles have accelerated massively and require a different behavior than in the past. Agile innovation is the prerequisite for success. Organizational changes have to be accompanied by personal or individual change, as digital transformation is only effective and successful in an enterprise when personal transformation happens in parallel.

Well-established methodologies and concepts have to be combined with new concepts that fit into today’s world. Design Thinking is a proven methodology that SAP offers to customers, but also uses itself to support out-of-the-box thinking and the development of new innovation approaches in an agile, fast, and structured way. With Challenge Management by Dr. Wladimir Klitschko, we invite people and organizations to experience a concept that complements agile corporate methodologies such as Design Thinking with meaningful personal strategies that enable people to confidently deal with the challenges arising from change.
