User-centred design (UCD) outlines the phases throughout a design and development life-cycle all while focusing on gaining a deep understanding of who will be using the product/service. Users no longer must adapt to a product/service, but the product/service must adapt to users.

Design thinking offers a fundamentally human-centered approach to help project teams align their thinking, empathise with affected stakeholders and produce better results. It invites people to think and work like designers to understand the needs and motivations of the end-users projects are intended to serve. The methodology invites followers to work to understand what’s happening in this community, situation or project space well before we go ahead and start designing or constructing. This event will offer an introduction to design thinking, providing participants with the opportunity to learn and apply tools in a workshop setting and become more human centric in their project management style.

In this practical and interactive workshop, we will explore the question of ‘What are the biggest challenges you face as a Project Manager?’ Each project is unique with reference to the scope, objectives or client requirements, although, the problems each project faces may be different, there are some issues that are stumbled upon more commonly than others.

What will you learn and what can you expect?
Aurecon’s User Centred Design Team will lead activities based on your responses to the above question. Employing design thinking/human centered thinking approaches, they will aim to resolve the key challenges you have raised, offering you some tangible outcomes that you can apply to your role.

Working breakfast included.
