Ótimo curso!!! Aproveitem!!!
tiene una visión y estructura fresca, te entrega herramientas o métodos para resolver cuando uno inicia proyectos, eso ayuda mucho para las personas que sobre piensan en sus proyectos,
Me ayudó a retomar el usp de herramientas basadas en el diseño. La expositora implementa un proceso sencillo y práctico para la exploración y diseño de posibles futuros.
Información muy interesante y valiosa, una forma distinta de proyectar el futuro, pero muy útil.
