Goals of the certification program

Participants learn

  • to recognize the potential of innovation teams and how to activate them,

  • to discover their own coaching style and develop their coaching skills.

The Curriculum

The training part of the program consists of three core modules: one twoday Design Thinking Deep Dive workshop, and two three-day workshops, Train the Trainer 1: Coaching a Team and Train the Trainer 2: Coaching in Context. This forms the foundation of the program and all participants must attend all three modules.

Duration

The Certification Program runs for approximately 12 months and is divided into the following modules:

  • 2 days - Design Thinking Deep Dive: Design Thinking & You
  • 3 days - Train the Trainer 1: Coaching a Team
  • 3 days - Train the Trainer 2: Coaching in Context

  • Continuous exchange between the HPI Academy and other members of the Global Design Thinking Alliance (GDTA) for improving the training of Design Thinking coaches
  • A unique combination of teaching and research on the HPI campus
  • High level of practical experience: at the end of the training, participants will already have 11 days of practice engaging in a wide range of coaching experiences.
  • Practice days are organized individually, allowing the program to fit in readily with participants’ everyday professional lives
  • Continuous individual feedback from experienced Design Thinking coaches
  • A detailed coaching manual
  • Admission to the large HPI alumni network of Design Thinking coaches

  • Welcome & FAQ:

    What is this all about?
  • TRAINING Deep Dive:

    This workshop gives participants the chance to refresh their understanding of design thinking. The first part is a deep dive into the innovation mindset of a design thinker. Here, the aim is for all participants to experience the mindset through various activities, reflect and finally consider what they would like to improve on. The second part is dedicated to exploring the design thinking process and its six phases. Here the aim is firstly to understand the logic of the process as a whole, then to zoom into each phase, and finally to reflect on how the mindset and process fit together.
  • TRAINING Coaching a Team (Train the Trainer 1):

    This workshop focuses on coaching a team. Participants start by building their confidence guiding teams through the design thinking process. They then explore the characteristics of different styles of coaching, before reflecting on their own style. Finally, participants consider the impact of team dynamics on design thinking projects, and explore various strategies to deal with them effectively. Over three days, participants have various opportunities to try out their skills as team coaches in a safe space. For the whole duration of the training, our experienced HPI Academy coaches provide continuous, intensive support and personalized feedback to all participants.
  • TRAINING Coaching in Context (Train the Trainer 2):

    This workshop aims to place the activity of coaching a team into its wider context within a company or organization. As such, this module mainly focuses on the preparation and follow-up work that a coach undertakes in order to lead a successful design thinking project. We start by exploring different formats for design thinking projects. Using real-life challenges submitted by course participants, teams design a detailed project roadmap which takes into account the bigger picture, such as the organization or company’s strategy, internal culture or constraints. They then present this to their peers for feedback at the end.
  • PRACTICE Method Labs:

    This one-day format is a deep dive into one of the six phases of the design thinking process. In it participants explore various tools and methods which can be used to coach this phase, as well as experimenting with new ones.
  • TRANSFER Masterclasses:

    Master classes are one-day formats which combine design thinking with other approaches in order to expand your toolbox. These can be anything from learning new skills (eg. non-violent communication), to applications of design thinking in specific contexts (eg. social innovation or implementation of corporate strategy). Finally, we also have master classes to test out highly experimental formats (eg. yoga thinking). Participation in at least one master class is required for the program. As a rule, we offer three to four master classes per semester. Here you can download the slides and additional material for the various Masterclasses.
  • TRANSFER Virtual Experience Exchange:

    The VEEs are a platform for current participants and graduates of the Certification Program to exchange experiences and best practices. During each VEE, two coaches from the program showcase how they are working with design thinking. After the short presentations, other participants have the chance to ask questions. The VEEs take place as an online call, and a recording is sent out to everyone who was not able to participate.
