Session Details

You’ve probably heard about design thinking, whether you’ve read an article or watched an online video. But what happens after the theoretical context, how do you apply the principles and make an impact? What does a design thinking initiative actually look like? What business results come from it? And what challenges occur during the execution?

During this session, Keith Keating, Senior Director and Global Learning Strategist for GM’s Center of Learning, walks participants through a detailed design thinking case study for a learning initiative he led with General Motors to improve learner experience.

Learner feedback was positive. Survey results were good. General Motors turned to design thinking to uncover how they could be even better.

Keith will address activities in each of the five phases of design thinking, sharing best practices and lessons learned that helped the team uncover the voice of the learner and readjust their learner experience strategy. Whether participants are new to design thinking or experienced practitioners, this session will benefit all as Keith illustrates successes as well as pitfalls and challenges during the process. Understanding case studies will help participants jump-start their transformative journey from being a design thinking theoretical learner to a design thinking practitioner.
