DTMethod® Foundation
Design Thinking Foundation training is gaining increasing recognition worldwide for its role in enhancing creativity and innovation while keeping costs low. Design Thinking is a method that is gaining more and more recognition around the world. It serves to raise creativity levels while designing new products and processes with minimum costs incurred. Design Thinking is a tool that helps create innovations and improvements to existing products so that they can meet the actual expectations of potential and end users. Additionally, it is one of the most reliable methods used during the pre-project phase to assess whether it is cost-efficient to engage in the initiative and how the end product of the project should work to bring as many benefits to the organization as possible.
DTMethod is an APMG accredited Design Thinking Foundation training and methodology. It comprises a set of rules, guidelines, and tools helping to restructure Design Thinking. Thanks to DTMethod, the process, which is considered chaotic, is easier to predict and implement within an organization.
The methodology of conducting the Design Thinking processes is based on 3 pillars:
- DTModel, composed of 3 phases
- DTTools, around 20 tools fitted to DTModel

Implementing DTMethod as a methodology to utilize all of the above.
