Study Notes

Design Thinking Lecture Notes

  • Design Thinking is a solution-oriented approach to problem-solving, valuable for complex, ill-defined, or unknown problems.

  • Understanding human needs, reframing problems, brainstorming ideas, prototyping, and testing are key aspects.

  • Design Thinking's five stages, Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test, are crucial in solving complex problems. These stages are often cyclical.

  • The d.school at Stanford University is known as a leading institution for teaching Design Thinking.

  • Empathize involves gaining an understanding of user needs through observing, engaging, and empathizing with users. Gaining a deep understanding of the issues involved is key.

  • An Empathy Map is a useful tool for understanding users by illustrating their feelings, tasks, influences, pain points, and overall goals.

  • The Define stage clarifies the problem statement. A human-centered approach reframes the problem from a company perspective to a user perspective (e.g., "Teenage girls need to eat nutritious food" instead of "We need to increase our food-product market share").

  • Ideation techniques like Brainstorming, Brainwriting, Worst Possible Idea, and SCAMPER encourage creative solutions to the problem.

  • SCAMPER is an acronym for techniques to brainstorm solutions: Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to other uses, Eliminate, and Rearrange

  • QADIM (Increase size, Add a feature, Embed to another existing product, Remove a feature, Reduce size) is a way of further refining possible solutions to a problem.

  • Prototyping involves creating inexpensive, scaled-down versions of a product or features. It enables investigation of potential solutions and helps identify the best possible solution.

  • Testing rigorously evaluates the best solutions identified during prototyping, refining understanding of user needs (how do users think and feel). Usability evaluations (e.g., System Usability Scale (SUS)) can be used as a method for evaluating the user experience.

  • Methods used to gather information from users include user interviews, questionnaires, observation of users in their natural environments, documenting their activities, surveys, and focus groups.

  • There are four main types of problems: Reactive/ caused, Created/ Proactive, Problem properties (quality, difficulty, and time), Analysis (depth), approach (who)

  • Understanding users (user personas) are needed to help with the Design Thinking process

  • There are four elements of empathy; see their world, understand feelings, appreciate them as human beings, communication, understanding

  • Mental mapping (mind mapping) helps generate creative solutions in decision-making

  • Tools for identifying user problems include 5W1H (Who, What, When, Where, Why, How), Affinity Diagrams, and Fishbone Diagrams.

  • Fishbone Diagrams, are useful tools for understanding the root causes of undesirable effects.

  • Several types of observation methods are important for gathering information (participants, controlled, naturalistic, unstructured, in their natural environments).

  • There are different categories of observation methods such as controlled observation (Structured, Lab, Tools such as checklists, surveys, coding sheets) and naturalistic observations (Unsctured, Natural environment, Tools such as videos, cameras)

  • Characteristics of creative people include curiosity, loners, rule-breakers, original and imaginative, sensitive, adventurous, risk-takers, and perseverance.

  • Several tools are available to measure creativity, such as Guilford’s Psychometric Approach and Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking.

  • Techniques for encouraging creativity can help people think outside the box and avoid common hinderances such as negative attitudes, fear of failure, stress, following rules, and over-reliance on logic.
