Your entry point
The DDP Foundation level training provides you with perspectives and approaches that enable you to develop innovative digital solutions from a holistic perspective.
Digital Design Professional – DDP
Digital Design stands for a holistic view of people, business, and technology. The DDP certification program is the starting point for a new job profile in response to the requirements of digitialization. It closes the gap between the increasingly complex design challenges of digitialization and the necessary technical competence in design.
DDP - industrial design of digitalization
Like industrial design, Digital Design is also driving new forms of interaction: industrial design creates innovative physical forms of interaction, while Digital Design opens up new digital interfaces and user experiences. These impulses have changed the way people interact with technologies and products. Be at the cutting edge of digitalization. Become a Digital Design Professional.
Digitialization and the associated challenges in developing innovative solutions require a new way of thinking and a different approach if you want to be successful.
Take on new perspectives – achieve more
Are you a UX or CX expert?
The Digital Design Professional (DDP) certification focuses on three core competencies:
- design competence
- crosscutting competence
- material competence
Your design skills are already well developed, but what about your material skills? Imagine you could use digital technologies as a malleable material for innovative solutions.
If you combine project, product, and social dimensions with your design expertise across the board, you will create sustainable innovations.
Are you a business analyst?
You maintain an overview
You know the technicalities, understand the requirements, talk to stakeholders, convincing and guiding them. But you can do even more!
Why limit yourself to what is required?
Why not derive new business models from digital solutions?
Why not promote sustainability at the same time - for the environment and the company image?
The Digital Design Professional (DDP) certification program opens up precisely these additional opportunities for you.
Are you a requirements engineer or product owner?
You already have a perfect command of requirements analysis.
However, digital technologies change constantly.
New trends come onto the market - some are ingenious, others are just hype.
Every technology brings with it risks and opportunities - provided you understand them.
With the right material expertise, you can derive new business models from these opportunities, communicate them, and integrate them into the requirement. With the knowledge gained from the DDP certification program, you are ideally positioned.
Your benefits
Gain confidence - the confidence to successfully implement digital solutions with the right methods and techniques and to actively shape the development process.
