Design Thinking from Lookup Creative Solutions
Design thinking is a creative process based around the 'building up' of ideas. There are no judgments in design thinking. This eliminates the fear of failure and encourages maximum input and participation. 'Stupid is good' in design thinking, and wild ideas are welcome, since these often lead to the most creative solutions.
Participants partake in collaborative outside the box brainstorming sessions in the ideation phase. The more unique thoughts, the better, since this increases the possibility of a solution that works best. Often times, the final resolution is a combination of many different suggestions--this is where the best results come from.
Design thinking is responsible for inventive solutions, but such innovation could not occur without a commitment to collaboration. Design thinkers welcome as many viewpoints as possible, especially those drawn from a variety of perspectives to allow for a cross-pollination of thoughts.
At the core of design thinking is innovation, particularly user-driven innovation. Rather than solving a problem based on existing metrics and quantifiable data, design thinkers focus solutions on the essence of the problem and build from there.
It is important to boil a problem down to its bare minimum so that you can first understand what is truly trying to be solved, before jumping to any conclusions. Thus, defining the problem is the first step to coming up with an effective solution.
Note that the seven step design process is not a linear system. Rather, its steps can be revisited many times throughout the evolution of thoughts. This makes the process very adaptive and suitable for situations that are constantly in flux.
Everyone is a designer, and design thinking is a great way to apply design methodologies to any of life's situations.
