LEARNING LAUNCH 

 Challenge & Selection 

 Challenge : Introduce a new post graduate program with Design Thinking as   one of the subjects . 

 I work for a higher education institute that gives Post Graduate Diploma in Management ( PGDM ) . 

 We launched a new program that introduced the topic Design Thinking with some liberal arts   subjects . 

 It is a relatively new topic for all the stakeholders involved in the institute . The staff , the potential   students and their parents , the staff and the faculty . 

 The challenge was how to introduce Design Thinking to the potential students in a short span of time   like few hours of interaction during the interview process . 

 Application 

 We decided to hire Design Thinking practitioners in the country to create a small intro ( LAUNCH ) of   the term Design Thinking itself . 

 We decided to use Design Thinking workshop before we formally interview the candidates . It would   also give them a trailer of the term as it would be a subject in their course for the coming 2 years . 

 The candidates were called to the institute in a group of 15 - 20 people at once . 

 We grouped them in small teams of 3 - 4 and start some ice breaking activities . They were introduced   to the very basic definition of the term Design Thinking and were given a problem statement . 

 They were sent to the local nearby market area and were supposed to record ( in their minds , or on   paper or maybe taking photographs with prior permission ) customer journey at an undergarment   store . 

 How comfortable / uncomfortable were men and women while buying the undergarments at the   shop ? What were the pain points ? etc 

 After carefully observing the customers , they came back to the venue to discuss how would they   come to new solutions after brainstorming for better experience for the customers . 

 Also , they did a roleplay by enacting as the stake holders like shop keeper , customer , sales   representative . This helped us identify the hidden talents in the candidates . 

 Insight & Approach 

 We realised that the students loved the institutes ’ approach to involving Design Thinking in the   selection process . Also , it was a great tool for our institute as it helped us to identify different traits   in the candidates that could not have come out in a normal face to face interview environment .
