Study Notes
Design Thinking Overview
- Design thinking is a problem-solving approach focused on understanding human needs
- It involves empathizing with users, defining the problem, ideating solutions, prototyping, and testing.
- The process progresses through four core pillars: empathy, collaboration, inclusion, and repeat/iterate.
- Design thinking prioritizes human needs in every step.
Four Pillars of Design Thinking
- Empathy: Understanding user needs, perspectives, and frustrations.
- Collaboration: Working across disciplines and skillsets, fostering diverse perspectives.
- Inclusion: Ensuring diverse voices and ideas are considered.
- Repeat/Iterate: Continuous testing, feedback loops, and refining solutions.
Design Thinking Process
- Empathize: Understanding the problem through observing and interacting with users. This includes using tools like stakeholder mapping, context mapping, empathy mapping, and exploring personas.
- (Re)frame: Redefining the problem in a user-centric way, moving from problem space to solution space.
- Ideate: Generating many potential solutions to the problem, encouraging diverse thinking using brainstorming sessions, different workshops (like 'think different', 'think wrong', 'brain writing'), and affinity mapping.
- Prototype & Test: Creating tangible representations of ideas, testing them with users to get feedback, using prototypes, iterations, and testing ideas.
Problem Statement Example
- A common problem statement for Design Thinking projects will look at optimizing a user experience and its impact on people and the environment. For instance: "How might we improve the grocery shopping experience in a manner that positively impacts people and the environment?"
