Image from Stanford d. school<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Design thinking is a human centered way to design solutions to real world problems. Elements include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Empathy:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0This is super important and often missed in older project management styles. It involves immersing ones self with the target group to engage, observe and\u00a0empathise\u00a0with them in the area of concern. It might involve surveys, interviews, observations etc. The purpose is to gain a real understanding of the end user of your product to ensure your project meets their needs. This stage takes time as it forms the basis of the entire project.\u00a0e.g you want to develop a new drink for teenagers &#8211; but what do teens actually want or need in a drink?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Define:\u00a0<\/strong>In this stage you\u00a0pull\u00a0together all the information from the first stage.\u00a0After analysing\u00a0all the information it can be\u00a0synthesised\u00a0into core problems faced by your end user. A problem statement or driving question can then be created using human\u00a0centered\u00a0language<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ideate:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Hooray ! The main problems have been identified and now it\u2019s time to use some different strategies to identify meaningful and even \u2018out of the box\u2019 solutions to your problem.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prototype:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0The design team now prototype a number of scaled down versions of possible products. This is experimental and it&#8217;s likely that some work will be altered, changed or thrown in the bin while the best solutions are\u00a0realised. Throughout this stage you are learning more about the problems at hand and best solutions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Test:\u00a0<\/strong>the best solutions are rigorously tested to move toward the final product. Often the outcome will require the team to go back a few steps and possibly redefine or ideate new or altered solutions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keep in mind that often we will step through this process, step back, step forward or start it all over again!<\/p>\n<p>Want to learn more? Our free 2 day Project Design Workshop in June will be focusing on using design thinking to create project based learning programs for high school students.
