Design Thinking
Design Thinking
A design methodology that utilizes a solution-based approach to tackle problems, emphasizing human needs and an iterative process of brainstorming, prototyping, and testing.
Empathize
Empathize
The first stage of Design Thinking, where you deeply understand the problem you are trying to solve by immersing yourself in the context, observing users, and empathizing with their experiences and motivations.
Define the Problem
Define the Problem
The second stage of Design Thinking, involves clearly defining the problem you're trying to solve based on the insights gained in the Empathize stage. This creates a focused problem statement.

Study Notes
Design Thinking Lecture Notes
- Design Thinking is a solution-focused approach to problem-solving.
- It's helpful for addressing complex, poorly-defined problems.
- The process involves understanding human needs by reframing problems, brainstorming ideas, prototyping, and testing.
- The process has five stages: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test.
- The Hasso-Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford (d.school) developed the five-stage model.
- The d.school is the leading university for teaching Design Thinking.
Empathize Stage
- Aims to gain empathetic understanding of the problem.
- Involves consulting experts, observing, engaging with people, and immersing oneself in the environment to understand motivations, experiences, and issues.
- Empathy is crucial for setting aside assumptions about the world when designing for other users.
Empathy Map
- A tool for understanding user needs and motivations.
- Includes sections for feelings, tasks, influences, pain points, and overall goals.
Define Stage
- Transforms the problem into a human-centric problem statement.
- The goal is to gather ideas for features, functions and other elements to solve the problem.
- "How might we…" questions are used to stimulate ideas for solving underlying issues.
Ideate Stage
- Promotes "outside the box" thinking to generate new solutions to the formulated problem.
- Uses various ideation techniques such as brainstorming, brainwriting, worst possible idea, and SCAMPER.
SCAMPER Method
- A technique for generating ideas by modifying or adding to existing concepts.
- Substitute - replace elements or parts with something different.
- Combine - join elements or parts together.
- Adapt - adjust an element or part to another use.
- Modify, Magnify, or Minify - change existing elements, parts, or processes.
- Put to other uses - find new or alternative ways to utilize existing objects or processes.
- Eliminate - remove existing elements, parts, or processes.
- Rearrange - change the order of existing elements, parts, or processes.
QADIM Method
- A method to generate ideas by modifying existing concepts.
- Increase size
- Add a feature
- Embed existing product into another product
- Combine two products into one
- Existing product
- Separate existing product into two
- Remove a feature
- Reduce size
Prototype Stage
- Creating inexpensive, scaled-down versions of the product or features.
- The goal is to test possible solutions to the defined problem.
Test Stage
- Designers or evaluators rigorously test the product to assess solutions identified during the prototyping phases.
- Outcomes are used to redefine problems and improve user understanding.
- User testing, questionnaires, interviews, and observation are crucial steps in the process.
Usability Evaluation
- Assess how easy or difficult a product/service is to use.
- Involves user feedback to evaluate aspects of effectiveness, efficiency, satisfaction, and ease of learning.
- Tools include the System Usability Scale (SUS).
SWOT Analysis
- A framework for identifying Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats.
- Used to analyze the product from an internal and external view to evaluate the strategic situation.
Critical Thinking Standards (CTS)
- Clarity, Accuracy, Precision, Relevance, Depth, Breadth, Logic, Significance, Fairness
Observation Methods
- The goal of observation is to gather in-depth knowledge and insights from participants' behaviors.
- Techniques include controlled observation (in a lab setting using structured methods) and naturalistic observation (in the participant's natural environment using unstructured methods).
Other Methods for Understanding Users
- Empathy map
- Use case exploration canvas
- User persona profiling
Qualitative and Quantitative Observation
- Qualitative observations are descriptive; e.g., "the room is clean"
- Quantitative observations are numerical; e.g., "The room is 10m wide"
Group Brainstorming Activities
- Include various activities like finding the fourth word and listing multiple uses for an object.
Fishbone Diagram
- A structured tool to explore root causing undesirable effects.
- Helps better understand factors and causes by grouping them into categories to organize insights.
