“This course has represented a turning point in all the innovation processes we coordinate, helping us to involve users and other social actors, with highly efficient validation and co-creation dynamics.”

Financial Director of Chiesi Pharmaceutical Company

“We approached IED as a school whose aims and methodology are very different to those of the pharmaceutical industry. We needed to design a two-day training course on Design Thinking for our employees. So that once they acquired the knowledge, they could choose how to apply it in order to improve problem-solving with internal and/or external clients. The attention provided and level of the IED staff were unbeatable. The facilites were optimal, and the course content was extremely tailor-fitted!”
