Creative Problem Solving with LEGO Serious Play: Building an Empathy Map Online Course

Class Description
In this online class, you’ll be inspired to think creatively and foster innovation. Together, we’ll leverage principles of the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® and Design Thinking to help you or your team understand your users deeply so that you’re able to create better products, solutions, and services to serve their unique needs. No LEGO or design experience? No worries!
Although this class introduces the Empathy Map, a powerful Design Thinking tool, the class is built with everyone in mind – not just creatives! Whether you’re an entrepreneur, freelancer, designer, marketer, or corporate stakeholder, this class will help you understand your user personas so you can develop empathy for them and better serve their needs.

I’ll give you the tools, strategies, and insights you’ll need to succeed and I’ll cheer you along the way. I look forward to having you in my class and can’t wait to see what you create!
