OpenSAP Pilot for Universities:

Developing Software Using Design Thinking

 

SAP is embedding a methodology for creative thinking and problem solving known as design thinking into its software innovation and product development. You can benefit from SAP’s experience with design thinking by taking part in the course Developing Software Using Design Thinking. The combination of real-life SAP examples and the experience of George Kembel, executive director of the Stanford d.school, will allow you to learn how design thinking can be applied within the context of software development. Several interactive exercises with other participants will help you experience a real design challenge, giving you the chance to share your findings and present your insights within the course community.
