**Wie man Probleme mit Design löst.**

Um in der aktuellen KI-Wende Schritt zu halten, braucht es laut dem World Economic Forum vier entscheidende Kompetenzen: Neugier, Kreativität, analytisches Denken und die Fähigkeit zum lebenslangen Lernen. In dieser Session zeigt euch Hardy, wie sich diese Fähigkeiten spielerisch trainieren lassen und welchen entscheidenden Beitrag Design dabei leisten kann. Auch wenn für PO, UX und PM Menschen diese Skills nichts Neues sind, verfallen sie doch oft im Daily Doing ins Schema F und werden lazy was das Training angeht. Zeige, dass Du die extra Meile gehst und komm zu unserem ProductTank mit Hardy.

Do you work in the product sector, are you looking for inspiration for your personal development, and would you like to exchange ideas with like-minded people from the product community?
Then get ready for the first ProductTank Nuremberg. Take part in our online-event and round off the evening with networking and inspiring insights.
Let's make contacts, exchange thoughts and toast to the fascinating world of products.

Agenda
7:00 p.m. – Welcome & introduction to ProductTank
7:10 p.m. – Presentation by Gerhard Kühne, Creative Lead Apps & User Experience at OTTO
8:30 p.m. – Networking

**How to solve problems with design.**

According to the World Economic Forum, four key skills are needed to keep pace with the current AI revolution: curiosity, creativity, analytical thinking and the ability to engage in lifelong learning. In this session, Hardy will show you how these skills can be trained in a playful way and what a crucial contribution design can make in this regard. Even though these skills are nothing new for PO, UX and PM people, they often fall into a rut in their daily work and become lazy when it comes to training. Show that you go the extra mile and come to our ProductTank with Hardy.
