TAEF organized, in its premises, an initiation training on « Design Thinking » for the “Fellows” (from the 1st edition and the 2nd edition) led by Mrs. Aida Robbana.
Design thinking is an approach of innovation and its management which aims to be a synthesis between analytical thought and intuitive thinking. It relies heavily on a process of co-creativity involving feedback from the end user.
This process, called “Design Thinking”, was developed at Stanford in the 1980s by Rolf Faste, based on the work of Robert McKim. Contrary to analytical thinking, Design Thinking is a set of spaces that intersect rather than a linear process with a beginning and an end.
The idea is to give to the students the necessary tools to think differently and to try to apply them during their internship at the company and in their professional and personal life.
