HSE University’s Laboratory for Design Thinking is a driver of positive change in both society and the business world.
The Laboratory brings together students from different faculties and programmes, who participate in businesses, governmental institutions and non-profit organizations to develop innovations aimed at improving the quality of people’s lives.
Why ‘Design Thinking’?
Design thinking is gaining popularity, since the companies that are in the limelight (e.g., Apple, Google, Pepsi, Yandex, Sberbank, Vimpelcom and many others) have developed their most successful products with the application of this philosophy.
Design thinking can help you sort out the key tools of human-oriented design and learn to find opportunities for creating new products and improving the existing ones.
