Digitalization is a game changer in the pursuit of a sustainable future. The latest digital technologies and applications like cloud, AI, and mobile devices enable us to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and reduce carbon emissions in many sectors. Yet computer systems themselves have an immense energy requirement for their countless devices, data centers, applications and global networks. To effectively reduce the carbon footprint of digitalization, it is necessary to apply algorithmic efficiency and sustainability by design as guiding principles in digital engineering. The clean-IT Forum is the international platform to exchange ideas, recent research findings and applications to make digital technologies more energy-efficient.
This is an online course for everyone who wants to use Strategic Design Thinking for everyday challenges. You learn to use the whole potential of the approach, going beyond the method and the tools. Equip yourself with the most impactful Design Thinking principles to unlock your innovation capacity in complex, highly constrained situations.
Register now for the upcoming course starting October 08, 2021. Registration closes October 01, 2021.
This online training experience is provided by the HPI Academy.
Du hast bereits den Java-Kurs auf openHPI gemacht und die Einführung in Collections war dir zu schnell oder nicht detailliert genug? Du willst Datenstrukturen in Java besser kennenlernen? Du wolltest immer schon mal wissen, was eigentlich Iteratoren sind und welche Vorteile diese gegenüber von Schleifen haben? Welche Datenstrukturen für welche Anwendungsfälle schneller oder besser geeignet sind?
Auch Duke und seinen neuen Freund Big O beschäftigen diese Fragen in ihrem aktuellen Fall und sie brauchen wieder mal Deine Hilfe! Begleite Duke und seine Freunde auf ihrer spannenden Reise durch die wunderbare Welt der Algorithmen und Datenstrukturen in Java. Spoiler: mehr Drama, mehr Action und höchstens ein Papagei.
Im Zuge der Digitalisierung müssen sich viele heute im Erwerbsleben stehende Menschen beruflich weiterqualifizieren. Zunehmend gebraucht werden nicht nur technologische Fähigkeiten wie Umgang mit Software oder Programmierung, sondern die neuen digitalen Geschäfts- und Arbeitsprozesse erfordern verstärkt digitale und nicht-digitale Schlüsselfähigkeiten (digital future literacy). Dazu zählen u.a. Data Literacy, Kollaboration, digitales Lernen, Problemlösungsfähigkeit, Vorausschau und unternehmerisches Denken. In diesem Kurs wollen wir gemeinsam mit Ihnen die Herausforderungen der digitalen Zukunft reflektieren und Ihnen eine Toolbox unterschiedlicher Instrumente an die Hand geben, damit Sie sich dort bestmöglich zurechtfinden.
Design Thinking is an innovation approach, which evolved through the past 12 years from a university program at Stanford and HPI Potsdam to a globally respected and universally applied set of methods and tools for supporting and driving change towards a networked culture in organizations. The course is an introduction to the core principles of Design Thinking, explains its cultural impact and inspires to actively use Design Thinking at the organizational level.
The course is valuable for decision makers, who want to get an idea about the strategic underpinnings of design thinking. They will learn the terminology and get a better understanding, why and how to use Design Thinking to make the transformation towards a networked organization.
The course is not a substitute for a real design thinking-workshop, which will give - at its best - the deep and diverse team experience in a creative environment to the participants. But it helps, to get a better understanding of the core concepts behind Design Thinking and supports the development of their transformational strategy.
