Create better value for customers and your bottom line with business design. Solita Business Design Masterclass gets you kick-started on the journey to re-invent your business with design. It is tailor-made, intensive training for business leaders and practitioners to gain tools for growth and renewal.

  • How to rethink our business models? How to address change and new offerings?
  • What are the actual needs of our customers? Does our offering portfolio match these?
  • What are our unique assets – and how do we use them to find new sources of growth?
  • What is the real value that we create for our customers – and how can we capture it?
  • How can we evaluate new ideas before committing too many resources?

“I’m a designer looking in to expanding to business design. Is this masterclass for me?”

Yes, and especially so if you’ve encountered some business problems during your career. This course bridges business and design from a business angle and the design thinking basics will be, eh, very basic for you, while some understanding of business and finance fundamentals is expected. For designers looking for a thorough intro to business thinking, we are more than happy to recommend d.mba by Alen Faljic.

“I’m a business person without any previous design thinking experience. Is this masterclass for me?”

Yes, this is the place to start your design journey.
