Session: The need to apply design thinking within NGO contexts
Design Thinking is an extremely useful but barely adopted concept within organisations especially ngos, especially those in Africa. Yet, design thinking would solve a lot of critical issues for these organisations within their conceptualisation and ideation processes and facilitate better utilisation of resources. This talk is to reintroduce the topic and stir up interest of its adoption within ngo systems.
