Strategic Innovation Through Design Thinking: How To Create Human-Centered Solutions To Industry Challenges (20 - 21 August 2025) St. Giles Boulevard Hotel, Kuala Lumpur

OVERVIEW

Over the past decade, Design Thinking has moved from the realm of design and UX to mainstream terminology in offices around the world, yet many still struggle to utilize it effectively to generate better user-centric solutions.


Design Thinking is a human-centered approach to problem-solving and strategic innovation. It focuses on the needs, expectations and emotional insights of users, allowing teams to research and design solutions that truly resonate with human centric approach. This approach emphasizes an iterative cycle of learning, ideation and validation, starting with the discovery of user needs and creating solutions to meet them. It thrives in the ambiguous space of product innovation, where a clear solution is not readily apparent, and the user problem may not yet be fully defined. Hence, design thinking stages can create solutions that are deeply human-centric, ensuring they meet real needs and enhance user experiences effectively.

Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype

Empathize: Engage in exercises to understand users’ needs and insights.

Define: Accurately articulate the challenges with focused approach to innovation.

Ideate: Generate a range of innovative solutions through creative brainstorming techniques.

Prototype: Participate in an Action Learning Project to apply these skills driving innovation with a human-centered approach.


By the end of the training, participants will gain a deep understanding of these core procedures, features and methodologies, setting a strong foundation for innovative problem-solving and work improvement.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM BACK AGAIN - ENHANCED FOR THE NEW ERA OF THE FACILITIES MANAGEMENT Most FM Service Level Agreements were originally designed to manage vendors, control performance, monitor response times, and administer outsourced services. But today’s organisations expect far more. Facilities operations now directly influence: Business Continuity Workplace Experience Operational Resilience Employee Productivity ESG Performance Governance Organisational Confidence Strategic Business Performance This means traditional operational SLAs are no longer enough. The challenge many organisations face today is this: Despite having SLAs, KPIs, dashboards, and monthly reports in place, many organisations continue to face the same challenge where executives struggle to recognise FM’s strategic value, Service Providers remain overly focused on avoiding deductions, recurring operational frustrations persist, and FM teams remain operationally occupied yet strategically under-recognised. This highly practical and interactive 2-Day Training-Facilitation Programme introduces a new strategic approach , BUSINESS-DRIVEN FM-SLA.
