Helping teams anywhere in the world learn the Stanford Design Way
IntoActions and the dGlobal at Stanford program are joining forces to help groups anywhere in the world learn the Stanford Design Way and apply it to their local context.
dGlobal is a 6-week online course, designed to reinforce key concepts based on the enduring practices from the award-winning ME310 design course and leveraging research from the Stanford Center for Design Research (CDR) and the HPI-Stanford Design Thinking Research Program. dGlobal is administered by the Stanford Continuing Studies Program.
Building Innovative Teams
How do the best teams work? What practices support a highly innovative team?
This cutting-edge hybrid program is designed around how people truly learn – through a blend of practice, reflection, and reinforcement.
Step 1. Practice
In a flipped model of learning, you organize any event or workshop to provide participants with an initial exposure to group collaboration and design teamwork.
Step 2. Reflect
Interested participants can then submit a mini e-portfolio in which they reflect on their teaming experience through words and photos.
Step 3. Reinforce
Participants then enroll and participate in a Stanford 6-week online course, designed to reinforce key concepts based on the enduring practices from the award-winning ME310 design course, taught at Stanford since 1967.
Course Topics
- Create a learning culture
- Building T-Teams
- Collaborating versus coordinating
- Why build to think
- Three horses
- All design is redesign

“Your Stanford University program, dGlobal at Stanford: Bringing the Stanford Design Way to You, has helped me and my colleagues think more strategically about entrepreneurship, innovative teams, and project-based learning. It has already led to some new ideas that we will implement with our next cohort at the Programa de Pre-Incubación UTEC.”
