Strategic Innovation Through Design Thinking Human-Centered

OVERVIEW

Over the past decade, Design Thinking has moved from the realm of design and UX to mainstream terminology in offices around the world, yet many still struggle to utilize it effectively to generate better user-centric solutions.

Design Thinking is a human-centered approach to problem-solving and strategic innovation. It focuses on the needs, expectations and emotional insights of users, allowing teams to research and design solutions that truly resonate with human centric approach. This approach emphasizes an iterative cycle of learning, ideation and validation, starting with the discovery of user needs and creating solutions to meet them. It thrives in the ambiguous space of product innovation, where a clear solution is not readily apparent, and the user problem may not yet be fully defined. Hence, design thinking stages can create solutions that are deeply human-centric, ensuring they meet real needs and enhance user experiences effectively.

Procurement Fraud Risks, Audit and Internal Controls for Public and Private Sectors (23 - 24 April 2025) St. Giles Boulevard Hotel, Kuala Lumpur

February 25, 2025

OVERVIEW Protect Your Business Against Expensive Malpractices and Fraudulent Behaviour The rise in contract management and the outsourcing of goods and services has created an increase in procurement fraud, which can occur at any stage of the contracting and procurement process. Appropriate controls, fraud prevention strategies and proper tendering processes are necessary in the fight against this fraud. It is important to remember that maintenance of financial controls remains critical in this age of digitalisation. Public and private sectors must continue to comply with legal responsibilities and related guidance on financial governance. It is essential that all staff maintain financial records and decision logs – regardless of any circumstances - so that audit trails are preserved . Procurement, finance, and payroll staff – as well as those who requisition or authorise the purchase of goods, services and works should familiarise themselves with the controls set out to prevent fraud , identify key parameters for auditors in assessing the risk of sub-optimal procurement, and how they should prioritise and conduct their audits to check if these risks have materialised, including the risk of fraud and corruption. Procurement fraud can occur through departmental purchasing of goods and services, as well as through contractual arrangements with external service providers. It can occur in many different ways. Fraud within the procurement life cycle is high risk and can result in recurring losses. You may be at risk due to fraudulent activities conducted by internal staff, collusion between internal staff and external service providers or external service provider or industry collusion. This workshop offers insight into the specific risks and possible management techniques in procurement in good or tough times. This 14 hours training programme would equip participants with the knowledge, skills, and techniques to deter, prevent, and detect various devastating types of fraud. Learn how to identify procurement fraud situations, uncover rogue operatives and threats and provide a higher level of transparency and control over all elements of your purchasing requirements.
