ToTAL OPEN Program "d.school comes to Tokyo Tech 2019"
This is an announcement of the subject ToTAL/OPEN program "d.school comes to Tokyo Tech 2019" that is a part of "Fundamental Group Work for Leadership F" of ToTAL course.
The tutors from Stanford University/d.school, a headquarter of design thinking, will facilitate a full 2-day workshop in Tokyo Tech in October. "d.school comes to Tokyo Tech" started from 2014 and has been held in Tokyo Tech every year.
ToTAL's aims for this workshop and characteristics about the workshop
- All of Tokyo Tech students will be expected to develop and execute new value for society when you be "professionals" in any fields. ToTAL believes that the core of "leadership" should be motivation and skills to develop such new value for society proactively. Making such concepts
- The concept of "Creative Confidence; anybody can have creativity and present new idea" and "User Centric; making situation to execute and accept such new value in the society" may be the fundamentals. Establishing such concepts in your mind, making logic and taking actions will lead such new value.
- Although it is often understood that Design Thinking is a kind of method to generate "innovations" by following 5 steps; empathize, define, ideate, prototype and test, the core of DT should be the 2 kinds of concept above.
- During "d.school comes to Tokyo Tech 2019", aims is to establish such 2 concepts in your brain and body. d.school tutors designed the agenda especially for Tokyo Tech to satisfy such aim, which will be deferent from usual design thinking workshop by following the 5 steps.
- During this 2-day workshop, I want all of you to understand and experience the mind-set of Creative Confidence and the skill set of User Centric; exploring mechanism of needs and jump belong logic, through d.school way of speedy, friendly and diversified environment.
