What it does
IDEO U offers online creative problem-solving and leadership learning through cohort courses, short on-demand study and longer programs.
A cohort gives IDEO U learners a scheduled period for collaboration and applying a skill at work. On-demand courses provide a shorter independent route, with a stated access window. Choose according to whether the task needs peer discussion or focused study, then bring a real problem into the exercises rather than treating design thinking as terminology alone.
On-demand access lasts ninety days from purchase. Cohorts run for five weeks, while certificate programmes combine courses over a longer period.
