Designing High-Impact Solutions with MITdesignX

The purpose of design is to engage in a plan to achieve a solution and not necessarily the solution itself. Design is an ideal way to enter and frame a problem because it takes advantage of non-systemic thinking to solve problems (the difference between a machine and a human) and looks for deeper context and meaning that can only be understood at a human level. 

Designing High-Impact Solutions with MITdesignX online program examines the optimal methodology for finding efficient solutions to the complex problems you are facing and includes identifying, understanding, framing, scaling, and prioritizing, solutions. As a participant, you can bring your own challenging project or use the ideation process to select one to work on. From there, be prepared to discover the tools, knowledge, and skills on offer to explore, design, test, and prioritize solutions.

“Changes in our daily lives and corporate environments force organizations to reexamine their strategy toward their markets, their employees, and their customers” - Prof. Svafa Gronfeldt, Professor of Practice MIT SA+P, Faculty Director MITdesignX
