About your instructor

I’m Julia Lettinger, founder of Responsive Strategy, a strategy and digital transformation consultancy in Berlin. For many years I’ve been applying Design Thinking in consulting projects, startups, and corporate innovation – and I’ve been teaching it since 2017 through the Design Thinking & Agile Crash Courses Meetup I founded in Berlin, as a lecturer in Strategic Management at the Berlin School of Economics and Law, and here on Udemy.

Since 2021, I’ve also been a facilitator at the Silicon Valley Design Thinking Club and the LISA LEAD Startup Incubator at Stanford University, while heading the Berlin chapter of the International Design Thinking Association. As an active facilitator and lecturer, I help teams unlock creativity – and now I’ll show you how to supercharge it with AI.
