In the second week, the student will learn how developing and learning skills enhance the
efficiency of managers towards design thinking. The week blogs help in enhancing learning
skills of students through which they can analyse all the aspects in relation to the design thinking
process. These weekly blogs are playing an essential role in developing the design process and
effective decisions by enhancing decision making power (Glen, et.al., 2015). All the weekly
sessions help in enhancing the decision-making process through which managers can analyse the
situation in an effective manner. It is essential for every organisation to enhance the efficiency of
their managers through which managers can develop approaches and can enhance their actions in
an appropriate manner. The essential objective of an organisation can be accomplished with the
