教練技巧是一門可教的藝術。 教練的目標是幫助學習者精熟基礎知識並提高他們的技能，因此一位優秀的教練在基礎知識和進階技巧上都必須有所掌握。教設計思考就像教體育一樣，一位優秀的教練必須足夠暸解他所指導的學員，了解他們現在所在的水平，以及該往哪個部分提升。由於「設計思考」是一項團隊運動，教練必須有效帶領團隊，讓每個人能在適當的位置上發揮自己的最大價值。
對此，在這個課程中，修課學生將走過一系列扎實的訓練，提高設計思考基礎與教練技能。在課程結束時，修課學生將具備有效地推動良好設計思考專案之能力。修課學生除了獲得理論基礎的訓練外，也將能夠增進真實專案的引導技巧。如果你/妳曾經修過設計思考相關課程，並受其啟發，進而希望成為能帶領創新專案的領導者，歡迎選修此門教練課人才培育課程。
Coaching is a teachable art. The goal of coaching is to help learners practice the basics and improve their skills. A good coach works on both foundation and technique. Coaching Design Thinking is a bit like coaching sports - to learn and apply Design Thinking requires mastery at both the knowledge of Design Thinking and skills of coaching. Further, a good coach can read the “player” and determine what elements from what levels to engage. Because Design Thinking is a team sport, coaches experience significant challenges in bringing teams together and each player up to the same level.
In this course, students will advance their Design Thinking foundation and coaching skills so that they will be able to effectively drive good design process in groups. Students will both learn theory and gain real world skills. Take the course if you are inspired by past Design Thinking classes and desire to be a leader that leads innovative work beyond classroom.
