For the third year in a row STBY partners with Amsterdam Business School in delivering its Professional Post-Graduate Course for Design Driven Business Innovation. The course runs from September to December 2018, and is open for registrations.
The course is designed for any professional looking for new and creative developments in business, such as Business Innovation, Service Design and Design Thinking. The participants will have the chance to work in groups as well as develop their own individual project that will add value for their organisation.
