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.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM When performance isn’t managed properly, organizations end up paying for it in silence: people are unsure of what “success” even looks like, goals are set randomly, evaluations feel inconsistent, and teams start dragging under the weight of unclear expectations . Managers avoid tough conversations, reviews get reduced to a quick number or percentage, and small problems grow into full-blown performance issues that could’ve been fixed early. Without a clear, structured framework, both HR and managers struggle to maintain fairness, alignment, and accountability. Time gets wasted. Talented people lose motivation. Underperformance slips through the cracks. And the organization misses chance after chance to strengthen its talent pipeline. This two-day program equips Managers and Team Leaders with practical, usable tools to set meaningful KPIs, align them with organizational objectives, identify Key Result Areas, and understand the core components of a proper Performance Management System. Participants will learn how to create clarity, maintain consistent standards, and drive performance conversations that actually lead to improvement rather than confusion. The goal is simple: turn performance management into a disciplined, repeatable process that supports employee growth and organizational results; not a once-a-year form-filling ritual. JOIN US to build a performance culture where clarity is the norm, accountability is shared, and every review becomes a genuine driver of progress and growth.
