The Design Masterclass is not just a product / service development course. It is people development course, which embeds design thinking as a competence inside companies. Design thinking brings an intimate understanding of customer needs and behaviours to the forefront of the product / service development process.

The course was ordered by Enterprise Estonia and executed in cooperation with BDA and Design Minds. Over 6 months companies went through a design audit all the way to prototyping and testing of new product / service concepts. The best developed concepts were rewarded at the end of the course with €10,000 to spend on further develop their ideas.

This course was focused on youth workers and local government. The course, spread out over 6 months focused on teaching service design as a methodology to better reach youth with services that really matter to them.

Participants were encouraged to attend as cross-disciplinary teams, in order to work intensely and independently between courses, in order to achieve a measurable and significant change in their approach to youth work and delivery of services. The course was commissioned by ENTK (Estonian Youth Work Centre).

A summary video of the course can be seen here (as the final event was cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic)
