Design teams

Join a design team and take a human-centered event from ideation to implementation.

Design thinking is a powerful tool to solve complex business problems and place your customer, user, or consumer at the center of your decision-making process. The power of design thinking comes from the combination of creative and analytic brainpower in an iterative, team-process. And many leading companies, including Apple and Google, have integrated design thinking into their business operations.

Joining a design team at Carey Business School is your opportunity to build and hone your design thinking skills without making a semester-long commitment to a course or club. You and the others on your design team will partner with a student organization to plan and oversee an event.

Who can join?

You do not need to be a member of the student organization to join the event design team, and all students (full-time, part-time, on-campus, and online) are welcome to participate.

Learn the design thinking process along the way:

Empathize - learn about the audience.
Define - sharpen key questions.
Ideate - brainstorm and create solutions.
Prototype - build representations of one or more ideas.
Test - test ideas and gain user feedback.

Gain new skills

And complete the event with new, highly-marketable skills and specific experience to reference in your next job interview:

Design thinking: Gain functional knowledge of the design thinking six-step process.
Strategic planning: Develop a mission, vision, and plan of action for the project. Create goals, roles, and responsibilities for each team member.
Project management: Create individualized project plans, to include roles and responsibilities, timelines, and deliverables. Execute projects that include reflection and assessment.
Leadership: Build diverse teams that set and achieve goals. Manage your team’s dynamic.
