I recently completed the Executive Development Program in Design Thinking at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The course content was incredibly relevant and helped me achieve my learning goals of developing a more innovative and user-centric approach to problem-solving. The practical knowledge and skills I gained, such as empathising with customers, ideating solutions, and prototyping, have already started to pay dividends in my professional life. I was particularly impressed by the quality of the course materials, which included engaging video lectures, interactive discussions, and real-world case studies. Overall, I'm thoroughly satisfied with the course and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to develop their design thinking skills.

While I felt that some of the course materials could be improved, overall I was satisfied with the course and felt that it helped me achieve my learning goals.
