Welcome to the Design Thinking Executive Program at University of California Riverside Extension

​Today’s competitive and dynamic landscape requires individuals and firms to re-imagine how they approach business. Solving complex problems often involves a multi-disciplinary team working collaboratively, combining both creative and analytical approaches.
