  • Do you recognise the importance of commercial thinking?
  • Are you motivated by a good challenge?
  • Do you want exposure to a commercial environment whilst building your industry networks?

If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, then this program is for you!

Macpherson Kelley in conjunction with the Melbourne Law School is running an innovation think tank throughout the month of March focusing on design thinking and how it can be used in a commercial environment.

Throughout the program you will learn more about what design thinking is, how it is applicable to a commercial environment and how businesses are successfully using it to provide an innovative working environment.

We will then challenge you to use your newly acquired skills to pitch (in the ‘shark tank’) your solution to a real life business problem. Will it float? The winning team, as selected by the ‘Sharks’ will share in $5000 prize money!
