Study Notes
Design Thinking Evolution
- Design Thinking originated from teaching engineers to approach problems creatively, like designers do
- John E. Arnold, a professor of mechanical engineering at Stanford University, wrote "Creative Engineering" in 1959, establishing the four areas of Design Thinking
- Design Thinking evolved as a "way of thinking" in the fields of science and design engineering, influenced by Herbert A. Simon's book "The Sciences of the Artificial" and Robert McKim's "Experiences in Visual Thinking"
- With the rise of human-centered design in the 80s and the formation of design consultancy IDEO in the 90s, Design Thinking became increasingly popular
Design Thinking Methodology
- Empathy: understanding the user needs, ensuring the leader is non-judgmental, and refueling strategy, process, and program with innovative solutions
- Empathy Mapping: connecting with the right audience, understanding actions, behaviors, and attitudes, and shifting focus from the problem to the people
- Define: coming up with a problem statement, identifying the problem to be solved, and developing a point of view to guide solution-finding
- Ideate: generating ideas for solutions, using brainstorming and ideation sessions with collaborative tools
Applications of Design Thinking
- Design Thinking is being considered as an effective tool to address challenges in any domain, including education
- Design Thinking is becoming more relevant with the advent of AI in every sphere of life
- Design Thinking can enhance productivity, the most sought-after need of every organization
- Netflix used Design Thinking to transform its business model, making the customer a top priority, and continually thinking about what would be better for them
FAQs about Design Thinking
- Design Thinking is a Human-Centric approach to Problem Solving, offering an ever-lasting problem-solving solution with a Bottom-to-Top approach
- Initially, Design Thinking needs extended time, but once it becomes a habit and culture, it needs no specific time
- Technology and AI are useful for implementing successful Design Thinking, but they are not a must; the Design mind-set and attitude are more important than Technology
