ABOUT YOU
I, being a student from the Central Queensland University in Australia was a part of
the workshop that mainly focused on the various Design Think process and its tools. Since I
am very much interested in being an entrepreneur and opening up my own business venture,

REFLECTION OF THE LEARNING
During the first introductory workshop, we have learned the importance of
innovations. I have learned that there is no limit for innovations and that we can use our
creativity to get a unique solution to any difficult problem (Randall & Liedtka, 2014). In
addition, I had also learned about the various new concepts that are related to the
entrepreneurship, innovation, diffusion along with design thinking.
During the next week workshop, in the theoretical part I came to know about the
various theories related to the design thinking process which mainly include theories such as
the Divergent and the Convergent theory, the logic of reasoning theory, the action research
