Build partnerships and programmes with private, public, community-based and academic sector
entities that include:

• Experiential training on real world projects and challenges.
• Capacitation in the form of training, support and guidance in embedding design thinking into organisational structures, i.e. looking at organisational transformational aspects of design thinking.
• Research into the trends and application of design thinking to ensure relevance.
• Development of case studies that document the application and impact of design thinking.
