    Study Notes

    Introduction to Advanced Design Planning

    • The course is about Advanced Design Planning, which goes deeper than design thinking
    • Design thinking is popular and provides quick wins, but Advanced Design Planning allows for more profound insights and transformative innovation

    The Design Process

    • The design process involves understanding and making, with both being equally important
    • Understanding involves researching the real world, and making involves turning that understanding into tangible products and services
    • The four-square model of design thinking involves:
      • Framing: setting the aperture and frame of the problem
      • Research: understanding the real world
      • Analysis: making sense of the research and creating models and theories
      • Making: developing strategies and prototyping
      • Communication: prototyping and sharing the results
    • The double diamond approach involves two cycles of diverging and converging:
      • Diverging: researching and collecting information
      • Converging: prioritizing and narrowing down options
      • Diverging: generating ideas and solutions
      • Converging: prioritizing and selecting the best options

    Logically Correct Reasoning

    • The design process is aligned with the scientific method, involving induction and deduction
    • Induction involves collecting evidence and developing a hypothesis
    • Deduction involves testing the hypothesis and refining it
    • Design allows for rapid prototyping and testing of hypotheses

    Framing Problems

    • Framing involves setting the aperture and frame of the problem
    • Framing can be done at different altitudes, from very high-level to very specific
    • The abstraction ladder involves framing problems at different levels of abstraction
    • Approach involves how to take on the challenge, either through evolution (baseball) or revolution (punk rock)

    Innovation and Design

    • Innovation can be either significant (evolutionary) or transformational (revolutionary)

    • Significant innovation builds on existing capabilities and momentum

    • Transformational innovation involves breaking away from existing paradigms and creating something new### Innovation Approaches

    • There are two approaches to innovation: significant innovation and transformational innovation.

    • Significant innovation is about leveraging current direction and capabilities to accelerate projects, products, and services.

    • Transformational innovation involves disrupting the organization's current direction and involves asking "what can't we pursue right now because of our business model, operating model, brand, and beliefs?"

    Framing a Problem

    • When framing a problem, consider both significant and transformational innovation lenses.
    • Think about ascending or descending the problem to approach it from different angles.
    • Consider creating multiple problem statements to understand the problem from different perspectives.

    Identifying the Appropriate Problem Frame

    • Use three screens to identify the appropriate problem frame.
    • For significant innovation, consider the following factors:
      • Frequency of the problem
      • Criticality to the user group
      • Size of the audience
      • Distinctiveness
    • For transformational innovation, consider the following factors:
      • Outputs (tangible numbers like profits or people reached)
      • Outcomes (changes in behavior)
      • Impact (how it changes the organization's purpose)

    Prioritizing the Problem Frame

    • After identified the problem frame, prioritize it based on alignment with the organization's capabilities and willingness to pursue.
    • Finally, consider whether the team wants to work on the problem frame.
    • This process helps ensure that the problem frame is aligned with the organization's objectives.
