Design thinking is a management tool that combines creative and analytical methods. Its characteristic feature is a six-stage, iterative process flow that is always open-ended. This means that new insights can be integrated at any time. The principle applies that successful innovations can only be created at the interface between people, technology and business. People, whether project participants, customers or consumers, and their specific needs are always the focus of attention.

6 STEPS TO SUCCESS!

The following brief description of the Design Thinking process is based on the findings of the Hasso Plattner Institute (Stanford and Potsdam) and is divided into the action areas of problem analysis and solution finding.

PROBLEM ANALYSIS

  1. Understanding: As a team, develop a common understanding of the initial situation and then establish a key design challenge!
  2. Observe: Research the target group through interviews and observation and create a knowledge base!
  3. Define Point of View: Pick the most important findings from the multitude of information collected, analyze them in a qualified manner and adapt the Design Challenge accordingly!

FINDING SOLUTIONS

  1. Find ideas: Develop a variety of solution approaches, cluster them afterwards and identify a main idea as a result!
  2. Develop a prototype: Develop the main idea, for example, in the form of physical objects, role-playing games or videos, and present it in a way that can be experienced!
  3. Test: Check the prototype together with users for its strengths and weaknesses and collect feedback!
